Description. — A very large tree with a reddish brown 
fibrous bark, in more open forests and on poorer soils 
still a large tree, but the trunk usually very gnarled and 
branching from near the base ; in denser forests and on 
better soils forming a straighter, longer Role; outermost 
bark shed in very small flakes or patches, inner bark 
fibrous, light browta. Coppice shoots often vinous or 
with a purplish tinge ; coppice leaves and leaves on young 
trees comparatively thin in texture, ovate to ovate-lan- 
ceolate, under surface of the leaf markedly paler than the 
upper ; up to 4 inches long and 2 inches broad, tapering 
to a long acuminate apex; base rounded or cuneate, 
usually but not always oblique, tapering to a petiole 
(leaf-stalk) of one-third to half-an-inch ; veins and vein- 
lets fine, visible in the green leaf but more prominent in 
the dried; intramarginal vein not very distinct but clearly 
visible under a lens; about one-twentieth of an inch from 
the edge; the leaf margin itself usually thickened, the 
thickening clearly visible under a lens. Ordinary (second- 
ary or adult) leaves comparatively thin, in texture for the 
genus; paler on the under than on the upper surface; 
lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, commonly more or less fal-
