slopes, in ravines, and along streams. Local names : Shek tap

The type number presents immature fruits, the other num- 

 bers flowers only. The species is allied to Quercus uvariifolia 

 Hance, from which it differs in numerous characters, notably 

 in its nearly glabrous, fewer-nerved leaves, and like Hance's 

 species belongs in the group with Quercus cornea Lour. It is 

 probably more closely allied to the latter than to Hance's species, 

 but can be at once distinguished by its entire leaves; however, 

 in the larger leaves there are occasionally a few obscure teeth 

 near the apices.

 forested ravines, the flowers white. 



A species apparently most closely allied to Cyclea polypetala 

 Dunn, but is distinguished by its smaller leaves with truncate, 

 scarcely cordate bases, glabrous branches, and smaller panicles.
