A verv distinct species, fesembling Q. laurifolia in stimmer, 

 but the leaves come out revolute ( rolled up ) in the sj^rin^- ( instead 

 of flat as in the water oaks), and all fall off early in the winter. 

 They are a little longer and narrower than those of Q. laurifolia, 

 and never develo]) lobes on young shoots, as most of the water oaks 

 do. 



It is a common shade-tree, btit does not seem to have many 

 other tises.
