/ Quercus Bushii, n. hyb. (Q. marilandica Xvelutina).—Leaves 
broadly obovate, rounded or rarely acute at base, 5-lobed with 
broad acute conspicuously apiculate lobes, the lobes of the lower 
pair much smaller than the others, or sometimes 3-lobed, the 
terminal lobe entire or sometimes minutely 3-lobed at apex; 
at maturity thick, dark green, lustrous and glabrous on the 
upper surface, yellowish brown and glabrous with the excep- 
tion of a slight pubescence on the lower side of the midribs, 
10-12 cm. long and 6-10 cm. wide, the veins running to the 
points of the lobes much larger than the others; petioles stout, 
floccose-pubescent, becoming nearly glabrous, 1-1.5 cm. in 
length. Flowers and spring leaves not seen. Fruit sessile, the 
nut ovate, rounded at the broad apex, finally becoming nearly 
glabrous, inclosed for one-half to nearly two-thirds of its length 
in the turbinate cup; cup-scales loosely appressed, broad and 
rounded at apex, Roar ypeetens those of the upper ranks ciliate 
at the apex.
