This finallyemerges from the cup to a degree equal to that of any other of the Californian oaks. The cupretains, to a considerable extent, its original form, but is much thickened. The name Crassipocula,given to this species by Dr. Torrey, is very appropriate, but was anticipated by that of Dr. Kellogg. Of the wood of Q. fulvescens I obtained no information, except that the small branches aretougher, and the wood apparently denser, than in most of the oaks of the west; of which, thewood, as a general rule, is brittle.
