This is the form which King has called, on the sheets of the Calcutta 
Herbarium, ‘‘ Q. Lamponga, Miq. passing into Q. Hwyckii, Korth.” In leaves 
it resembles Q. Hwyckii more than Q. Lamponga but the conical velvety acorns 
are those of Q. Lamponga and the scales of the acorn-cups though rather more 
prominently lamellate, yet show clearly that they are connate and apiculate so 
that I consider it to be more nearly allied to the latter species.
