tary or rarely 2—3 together, on a very stout upcurved flattened 
pedicel; cupule thick, faintly 2—4-annular; perianth as in ¢; 
ovary densely silky ; styles 3, spreading. Fruits hemispheric, 2—3 
em. in diam., 1:5—2 cm. high, in stout spikes up to 20 cm. long; 
rhachis like the branchlets ; enlarged pedicel very stout, 1—1°5 cm. 
long, obconical, flattened ; cupule thin, smooth, chartaceous, red- 
dish-brown when dry, enveloping the whole acorn except the umbo, 
the margin often split, with 4—5 faint wavy rings, which are again 
connected by obscure straight vertical lines; acorn densely white 
appressed-sericeous with retrorse hairs, the base deeply hollowed 
out, the apex broadly conical tipped with the remains of the stigmas ; 
endocarp with intruded plates, the cotyledons thus presenting a 
shallow conic star-like figure of about 10 rays enveloping the conical
