notched, almost serrated. 

 A totally different speci- 

 men from any of the pre- 

 ceding ones. ( See^^. 1 00.) 

 Q. sessiliflora, Alies- 

 ley, September, 1831. 

 [The peduncles 1 in. in 

 length, in some cases 

 clothed with acorns on 

 the sides, and with a 

 terminal one ; some, also, 

 solitary and quite sessile. 

 A very handsome and re- 

 markable specimen. The 

 acorns long, like those of 



Q. R. pedunculata.] 

 Q, sessiliflora, Alles- 



ley, Oct., 1835. Acorns 



on a short peduncle. [The peduncle is | in. in length : the 



acorn long ; and the foliage and buds decidedly those of Q. 



sessiliflora.] 



Q. sessiliflora, Allesley, September, 



1834-. Acorns very long and pointed. 



Sessile. [Leaves numerous, of a darker 



green than usual. A very remarkable 



variety. (See^^. 101.)] 



Q. sessiliflora, Allesley, September, 

 1834. Acorns round, and on a short 



peduncle. [Leaves broad, and yel- 

 lowish green.] 



Quercus 726bur, Allesley, October, 

 1834. With acorns on a very short 

 peduncle, and petioles longer than 

 usual ; thus approaching to Q. sessili- 

 flora, yet a true Q. Rbhnv. [There is 

 something in the leaves, and their rather 

 long petioles and large buds in the axils, 

 which reminds us of Q. sessiliflora ; but 

 still, taking the slenderness of the wood, the colour of the leaves, 

 their form, their number, the small buds, and the great length of 

 the acorn, the specimen appears to belong to Q. i^obur pedun- 

 culata. We have little doubt it is a hybrid between them. (See 



Jig, 102.) Mr. Bree, to whom we have sent a proof of this 

 article, says, " This specimen is from a genuine Q. i?obur, 

 although in some of its characters it apparently approaches Q. 

 sessiliflora."]
