at maturity glabrous, smooth or scabrate above and thickly coated 
below with pale pubescence, 8-14 cm. long and 3-4.5 cm. wide 
across the terminal lobes; petioles slightly pubescent, 1-1.5 cm. in 
length; spring leaves and flowers not seen. Fruit nearly sessile; 
acorn not more than 1.5 cm. long and inclosed for half its length in

Arkansas Post on the White River, Arkansas County, Arkansas, John H. 
Kellogg, September 24, 1909. Judging by the number of specimens made by 
ellogg, this must be a common tree at Arkansas Post. Unfortunately I have 
no notes on its size or the nature of the bark. The leaves resemble in shape 
those of var. paludosa,-but the pubescence on the lower surface is not so dense, 
and the tomentose branchlets distinguish it from that variety. 
QUERCUS STELLATA var. parviloba, n. var.—Differing from the 
type in the smaller lobes of the leaves and in their more prominent 
reticulate veinlets. Leaves obovate to oblong, acute or rounded 
at the narrow apex, cuneate or rounded at base, 3-lobed at apex 
or 5-lobed, with small rounded or acute lobes, or nearly entire 
with undulate margins; at maturity pubescent above, floccose- 
tomentose below, 6-8 cm. long and 2.5—4 cm. wide, with prominent 
pubescent midribs and conspicuous reticulate veinlets,or on vigorous 
shoots sometimes 9-10 cm. long and 4-6 cm. wide; petioles stout, 
rusty-tomentose, 5-8 mm. in length. Flowers and spring leaves not 
seen. Fruit as in the species. 
A round-headed tree 8-10 m. high, with rough bark and stout branchlets 
covered with thick rusty brown tomentum during their first season, becoming 
darker colored and slightly tomentose during the following year, and globose 
terminal buds. 
Dry sandstone hills near Brownwood, Brown County, Texas, E. J. Palmer, 
October 23, 1916 (no. 11105, type); sometimes planted as a street tree in 
Brownwood. 
J QUERCUS STELLATA var. anomala, n. var.—Differing from the 
type in its broadly obovate leaves, slightly 3-lobed and rounded 
at the apex. Leaves 4.5-7 cm. in length and 2.5-3.5 cm. in 
width, rounded and slightly 3-lobed at apex with broad rounded 
lobes and entire or undulate and gradually narrowed below to a 
rounded base; subcoriaceous, lustrous and glabrous above in 
autumn and tomentose below with a thick coat of fascicled hairs,
