1 cm, from the margin and then joined by somewhat angular often 
gradually diminishing loops ; transverse nervules prominent, rather 
irregular, enclosing the areolate rather obscure reticulation ; petiole 
about 5 mm. long; stipules linear, about 5 mm. long, caducous. 
Spikes: 3 up to about 15 cm. long, in large spreading grey-puberulous 
terminal panicles; rhachises slender, angular; bracteoles linear- 
lanceolate, 15 mm. long: Q solitary, axillary. Flowers: 3 soli- 
tary or in clusters of 2—4, the lower distant, the upper close; 
perianth cup-shaped, 1 mm. long, sub-glabrous within, lobes 6, 
ovate acute; stamens 12, filaments slender, recurved or spirally 
twisted, anthers slightly oblong ; pistillode densely villous, nearly 
white when dry, circular or oblong in outline. Fruits solitary, 
sessile, in stout spikes up to 15 cm. long; rhachises very stout, 
pale grey like the branchlets; cupules when young campanulate, 
when mature very thin, saucer-shaped, embracing the lower half 
of the acorn, about 23 mm. in diam., 6—7 mm. deep; lamellae 6—7, 
rather thin and indistinct, the margins undulate with very obscure 
minute teeth; acorn broadly hemispheric, truncate and intruded at 
base, chestnut-brown, shining and smooth, glabrous except just 
under the umbo, diam. as the cupule, height with the umbo 17 mm. ; 
umbo small, conical. Quercus cyrtorhyncha, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat.

as are all parts except the inflorescence. Leaves coriaceous ; broadly 
elliptic, abruptly obtusely cuspidate at apex, acuminately narrowed 
at base; upper surface dull, smooth, lower whitish when fresh 
greyish-brown when dry ; 7—12cm. long, 3—7 cm. broad; midrib 
stout and broad, raised above; main nerves 18—12 pairs, curved 
to near the margin and then joining in loops, faint on both surfaces ; 
transverse nervules many, fairly regular and parallel, slightly 
arched, more numerous near the midrib; reticulation obscure; 
petiole slender, up to 1 em. long, bordered almost to the base by the 
decurrent margins of the blade. Spikes: # up to about 9 cm. long, 
in axillary or subterminal panicles of several branches, the rhachises 
angular, grey-puberulous: @ solitary or very few in axillary or
