n The thick, broad leaves, slightly three-lobed and rounded at the top, suggest hybridity between 

 Qtiercm annulaia Buckley and Quercm stellata Wangenheim, with which the discoverer (E. J. Palmer) 

 states it was associated (Sargent). 



Quercus stellata Palmeri Sargent, Palmer's Post Oak, is a shrubby variety known now only from the 

 western border of Oklahoma near Elk City, Beckham County, where it forms large clumps by underground 

 stems (Sargent). 



« Characterized chiefly by the thick rust-brown pubescence on the under side of the leaves (variable in 

 shape) and on the twigs during the first 2 seasons (Sargent). 



u This variety differs from the species in the usually smooth upper surface of the leaves, in the tufted- 

 woolly covering on the under surface of the leaves, and in the usually smooth, reddish or yellow twigs, 

 as well as in the scaly trunk bark. Leaves with square and rounded lobes sometimes occur on the same 

 branch, or each of these two sorts of leaves may be found on different individuals (Sargent). 



14 (Sargent).— The moist or wet-soil habitat of this variety is in strong contrast with that of other forms 

 of the Post Oak, which, as a rule, grow in poor, dry soils.
