Cook (now Widderington) in 1835, and possibly a dis- tinct species, but we think not. Horticultural .Society's Garden. Other Varieties are mentioned by Bosc and some French authors, and in the Gardener's Magazine, vol. xii p. 571., and Arb. Brit., 1st edit., p. 1737., fifteen are described as having been found by the Rev. W. T. Bree in War- wickshire, in the district called the Forest of Arden. Quercus sessiliflora is general!}' the only British oak found in poor soil; for example, on the high grounds on the south bank of the Thames between Greenwich and Gravesend. On the poor soils of the north and middle of France, it is the only oak which is indigenous. The oaks of the Bois de Boulogne are entirely of this species ; as are those in the woods of Meudon, and throughout the whole of the extensive Forest of Fontainebleau. In Britain it is also frequently found in rich soil, with or without Q. peduncu- lata ; but the latter species is never found indigenous on soils so poor as those in which Q. sessiliflora is found. ^See our first edition.).
