The present plant is near Q. pachyloma 0. Seem, in the shape of 

 the cone and cupule. The cupule of this plant is far larger than that 

 of the other species. The former differs from the latter in having 

 oblong, obtuse, and entire leaves. The leaves of Q. pachyloma are 

 acute and dentate at the apex. I suspect if Heney's No. 1367 

 mentioned in Ind. Fl. Sin. II. p. 519, under the name of Q. pachyloma 

 Seem, may not be this species.
