 The terminal leaves generally resemble those of Quercus Phellos, but they are longer and broader and are often undulate, and a 

 rounded or abruptly cuneate, not acuminate, at the base. The pubescence, although less dense, is that of Quercus pagodwfoh 

 which has been the more potent factor in the production of this hybrid. c g g
