A tree rarely exceeding 30 or 40 feet in height, and 12 — 18 inches in 
diameter. Branches somewhat regular but never forming a handsome head. 
Leaves sessile, cuneate obovate, obscurely 3-lobed at the summit, very gla- 
brous, the veins underneath prominent. Fruit not abundant. Germs gen- 
erally in pairs. Acorn ovate, rather small. Cup shallow, on a very short 
peduncle. 
This tree bears some resemblance to the Q. Laurifolia, but is, I think, 
sufficiently distinct. It is neither valued for timber nor fuel. 
Grows in damp, springing soils, around ponds and in shallow swamps. 
Flowers March — April.
