Gambel's Oak. (Querent 



A single species of Chestnut Oak (Quercus muhlen- 



bergii) has been collected at two different stations in the east- 

 ern part of the State. 



In general it may be said that the oaks of the State are 

 probably of economic importance as decorative plants, and 

 several are certainly very important forage plants, while 

 the wood produced is used for firewood by those people who 

 are conveniently located to the supply.
