Tlii.s remarkable tree, wliich was confounded by Sibthori' with Q. llcr, is one of tlie most con- 

 spicuous endemical types of the Cyprian flora. It was described as a distinct species almost contemporarily 

 by Poech in Vienna and Jaubert and Spach in Paris. 



The shape of the leaves is subjected to great variations. When examining- the extreme foi'ms in 

 my collection from Cyprus, it would seem impossible that they appertain to the sani? species, but in 

 nature they are so completely connected through whole series of transitions, that sharp limits cannot 

 be drawn between them. CJenerally the leaves arc broadly ovate to obovate, such as on Kotschy's 

 excellent plate, but 1 have also met with trees with lanceolate, at their bases cuneate leaves. In most 

 cases the margins of the leaves are acutely dentate, but also quite entire leaves occur. fSome of the most 

 characteri.stical forms of leaves are represented in Fig. 15.
