rather thicker leaves with more revolute margins, 5-8 cm. long and 1. 5-3. 5 cm. 
wide); Sumner, Levy County, 7. G. Harbison, June 28, 1918 (no. 28); Simp- 
son’s Hammock, near Little River, Dade County, C. T. Simpson, October 1914; 
four miles west of Long Key, Everglades, Dade County, E. A. Bessey, May 
1908 (no. 85). 
On a specimen of a shoot from Little River the leaves are oblong, acute at 
apex, rounded at base, acutely lobed, sometimes with three terminal lobes and 
sometimes with numerous lateral lobes. 
“QUERCUS VIRGINIANA var. macrophylla, n. var.—Differing 
from the type in its much larger ovate or slightly obovate leaves, 
rounded or cuneate at base and rounded or acute at apex, entire 
or occasionally repand-dentate, and coated below with short pale 
or nearly white tomentum. 
Sandy bottoms of the Atascosa River, and in flat woods just above the 
river, Pleasanton, Atascosa County, Texas, E. J. Palmer, September 23, 1916 
(no. 1079, type), May 17, 1916 (no. 9784). 
Inthe shape and size of the leaves, which are 7-10 cm. long and 3-6 cm. 
wide, and borne on stout pubescent petioles 4-5 mm. in length, this tree is 
unlike any of the forms of the live oak which in its typical form is common on 
dry hills in the neighborhood. The fruit is solitary or in pairs, and is borne on 
peduncles which are 1~5 cm. in length. PALMER reports that there are a 
number of good sized trees in these — 
“QUERCUS VIRGINIANA Var. exiinga, n. var.—Differing from the 
type in its narrow elliptic to narrow oblong-obovate leaves, in its 
smaller size and pale bark. Leaves narrow elliptic to narrow 
oblong-obovate, abruptly or gradually narrowed and apiculate at the 
acute apex, gradually narrowed and cuneate at base, on vigorous 
shoots sometimes lobed on each side near the base, and occasionally 
near the apex with small acute lobes; when they unfold sparingly 
pubescent above and thickly covered below with hoary pubes- 
cence, and at maturity dark green, lustrous and glabrous on the 
upper surface, covered on the lower surface with matted pale hairs, 
3-5 cm. long and 1-2 cm. wide, with only slightly revolute margins 
and inconspicuous veins; petioles pubescent, 4~5 mm. in length. 
Flowers like those of the species; fruit usually smaller with nuts 
not often more than 1 cm. long and cups 1.2-1.5 cm. in diameter. 
5-7 m. high, with a short trunk 20-30 cm. in diameter covered with 
pale only slightly furrowed bark, pendulous branches forming a round-topped
