Trees and shrubs : an abridgment of the Arboretum et fruticetum britannicum : containing the hardy trees and schrubs of Britain, native and foreign, scientifically and popularly described : with their propagation, culture and uses and engravings of nearly all the species. Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. 1588. Q. tincu>rla- Q. falcata having bark of the same colour, Q. tinctoria can only be dis- tinguished by its buds, which are longer, more acuminate, and more scaly, than those of the former species. The inner bark of Q. tinctoria, if chewed, is very bitter, and gives a yellow tinge to the saliva, which is not the case with the bark of Q. falcata. The wood is reddish, coarse-grained, and porous, like that of all the red oaks. The leaves are large, deeply laciniated, and resemble those of Q. coccinea, but they have fewer lobes, never exceeding four or five ; while the leaves of the old trees of Q. coccinea have from five to seven : they are also less openly and roundly sinuated, less shining, and of a duller green ; and, during a part of the summer, have their surfaces roughened with small glands, which are visible to the eye and sensible to the touch, and which are also found on the young shoots. In autumn, the leaves of young trees turn to a dull red; but those on old trees become yellow, or of a yel- lowish brown, beginning with the petiole. The wood is used as a substitute for the white oak, and the bark for tanning, and for dyeing leather a brilliant yellow. t 19. Q. PALu'sTRis Willd. The Marsh, or Pin, Oak. Identification. Willd. Sp.
