Hort. Kew. ed. 2. v. p. 288. & 
(Our fg. 1603.) — Rather more 
obtuse leaves than the species. 
The whole of the American oaks 
belonging to the section Phéllos are re- 
markable for retaining their leaves, in 
particular soils and situations, for two, 
three, and in some cases even four, years, without their changing colour ; 
differing in this respect, both from evergreens, which change their leaves in 
the spring of every year; and from those de- ; 
ciduous trees which retain their leaves in a 
withered state during winter.
