tibus; gland i bus oblongo-ovoideis, 2.3 cm longis apice rotundatis, breviter 
apiculatis. 
A tree about 20 m high, glabrous throughout, except the cups (in- 
florescence unknown), branches terete, lenticellate, light-gray. Leaves 
thickly coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate or broadly lanceolate, 7 to 11 cm 
long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, entire, the apex strongly acuminate, acumen 
blunt, often slightly falcate, base decurrent-acuminate, both surfaces shin- 
ing, the lower slightly paler than the upper; nerves 8 on each side of 
the midrib, oblique, rather distinct beneath, nearly straight, more or 
less curved near the margins, not anastomosing, the reticulations fine, 
indistinct; petioles 1.5 to 2 cm long. Flowers unknown. Cup including 
the stout stipe 1.5 cm high, inclosing only about the lower one-fourth 
of the glans, 2 cm in diameter, glabrous and shining inside, outside 
cinereous-pubescent, lamellae about 5 the lower ones distant, the upper 
close, denticulate. Gians oblong-ovoid, 2.3 cm long, about 1 .8 cm in

Luzon, Province of Benguet, Pauai, For. Bur. 18380 Alvarez, January, 1909: 
Province of Abra, For. Bur. 11/605 Darling, February, 1909, altitude 1,400 to 2,000 
m. in forests; known in Benguet as Ticlick, and in Abra as Bultioc. 
A species well characterized bv its very obliquely nerved leaves, probably most 
closely allied to Quercus merrittii Merr., among the Philippine forms, but very 
different from that.

A tree about 15 m high, glabrous throughout. Branches slender,
