numerous close parallel nervules enclosing the areolate reticulation ; 
petiole very stout, under 1 cm. long. Spikes mostly 2, in slender, 
brown-hoary, terminal panicles 20 cm. or more long; bracts of the

long ; pedicels very stout, hoary, about 5 mm. long, usually bilamel- 
late, the lower without scales, the upper with a row of rather large 
ones: cupule when young with the edges incurved and embracing

(about 4 mm. deep), 2 cm. in diam., the edges not incurved, 
embracing only the base of the acorn; scales ovate-acuminate,
