¥ Quercus jolonensis, n. hyb. (Q. Douglasii Xlobata).—I suggest 
this name for a number of large trees at Jolon and between Jolon 
and King City, Monterey County, California, with characters 
intermediate between those of Q. Douglasii Hook and Arn. and 
Q. lobata Née, with which they are growing and of which they are 
probably hybrids. They have usually the lobed leaves of Q. lobata 
but are bluish in color, and occasionally one of the entire leaves of 
Q. Douglasii occurs on the specimens. The nuts generally resemble 
in size and shape those of Q. /obata, but occasionally are thickened at 
the middle like those of Q. Douglasii, but the cup is shallow, some- 
times saucer-shaped, and the cup-scales are sometimes slightly 
thickened on the back, although much less so than those of Q. Jobaia, 
and sometimes are thin and not distinguishable from those of 
Q. Douglasit.

/Quercus Comptonae, n. hyb. (Q. lyrataXvirginiana).— 
Q. lyrata Sargent (not Walter), Silva N.Am. 8:48 in part. pl. 374. 
figs. 5, 8. 1895.—Leaves oblanceolate, acuminate at apex, gradu- 
ally narrowed into a long cuneate entire base, deeply repandly lobed 
with 3 or 4 pairs of nearly triangular lateral lobes pointing forward; 
covered above with scattered fascicled hairs and coated below with 
soft close pubescence when they unfold, becoming thick, dark green, 
glabrous and very lustrous on the upper surface, pale and pubescent 
on the lower surface, 6-9 cm. long and 3-4 cm. wide, with slightly 
thickened revolute margins, prominent glabrous midribs, and veins 
extending to the points of the lobes; on the lower branches often 
broadly obovate, rounded or abruptly acute and slightly 3-lobed 
at apex, or rarely entire and sometimes 10 cm. long and 6 cm. 
wide; petioles pubescent early in the season, becoming glabrous, 
about 1 cm. in length. Staminate flowers in slender villose aments; 
calyx sparingly villose, divided to below the middle into 5 rounded 
lobes much shorter than the slender filaments; anthers short- 
oblong, apiculate, glabrous. Pistillate flowers hoary-tomentose, 
single or in pairs, or rarely in threes, on slender pubescent peduncles 
2-4 cm. long. Fruit ripening at the end of the first season; nuts
