This species and P. Curtisii, Gamble, much resemble each other in leaves, 
but differ in other respects. 
21. Pasania CLEMENTIANA, Gamble. A tree; branchlets brown 
the younger ones black, bark with elongate lenticels. Leaves thinly 
coriaceous; oblong-lanceolate or oblanceolate, caudate-acuminate at 
apex, acutely attenuate at base; upper surface shining, olive-brown 
when dry, lower pale-brown dull; margins entire; 15—20 cm. long, 
4—6 cm. broad; midrib stout, raised on both surfaces; main nerves 
11—13 pairs, oblique; slender, at first nearly straight, curved 
to join in obscure arches close to the margin; transverse nervules 
rather distant, irregular, enclosing the areolate reticulation; petiole 
stout, about 1 cm. long. Spikes: 3 (sometimes androgynous) 
under 10 cm. long, axillary and solitary or in terminal much 
branched panicles; rhachis grey-puberulous, angled; bracteoles 
triangular, very small: @ solitary, axillary. Flowers: 3 in clusters 
of about 4; perianth cup-shaped about 1 mm. long, lobes 6 obtuse. 
stamens 12, filaments slender, anthers reniform, small; pistillode 
rather large, densely whitish-villous: @ solitary or in threes, the 
young cupules truncate-pyriform with 4 broad distinct lamellae, quite 
enclosing the fruit. Fruits solitary or in threes of which 1 or 2 
undeveloped; cupules when young obconic, when old sessile and 
saucer-shaped, enclosing half the acorn, thick (4 mm.), about 3 cm. in 
diam. and 1 cm. deep, the margins incurved ; lamellae about 5, broad, 
the margins entire; acorns turbinate, flattened at base with a 
broad attachment, 2—2°5 cm. in diam., 1 cm. high, glabrous; umbo 
conical. Quercus Clementiana, King in Hook. f. Fl. Br. Ind. V. 614 
(1888) and Ann. Calc. IT. 69, t. 63 A.

676 (1912). A large tree reaching a height of 24—30 m and 60—90 
em. in diam. of stem, branches spreading ; branchlets brown, rough, 
longitudinally striate and lenticellate, the uppermost angular, grey- 
scurfy puberulous, bud-scales subulate-lanceolate. Leaves thinly 
coriaceous; elliptic-oblong or oblanceolate, abruptly and shortly 
obtusely acuminate at apex, cuneately attenuate at base; both 
surfaces glabrous and shining, dark green when fresh, olive-green 
when dry; margins entire; 5—13 cm. long, 2—4 cm. broad;
