finuated, fomewhat regularly; the angles fomewhat 
bitrifid, or ending in feveral acute, briftly points; 
their footftalks are pretty long. The acorns and 
cups are middling fized. The timber is generally 
worm eaten, or rotten at heart, therefore of little 
efteem. It is likewife commonly known by the 
name of Spanifh Oak; and, I think, has fome va- 
rieties differing in the fize of their fruit and leaves.

ed when taken firft from their cups. It is called 
barren from its place of growth, but is generally ah 
moft covered with fruit, fitting very clofe on all 
fides of the branches.
