The top-shaped-CTijoped Oak.—Leaves oblong- lanceolate, sharp at both ends, sharply serrated towards the apex, glabroiis. Cups top-shaped. A handsome tree, from 40 ft. to 50 ft. high ; found on (he mountain of Salak. It is nearly aUied to Q. glauca Thunb.; but the leaves are broader, less acute at the base, and not glaucous beneath. {Blume.) The acorns are of a very singular shape, and are enclosed in the cup. Q. lineata Blume Fl. Jav. t. 19. ; and our fig. 1666. The parallel-veined Oak. — Leaves oblong- lanceolate, sharp at both ends, serrated or entire ; glabrous above, glaucous and downy beneath.

A native of the west of Java, in woods, at elevations of 3000 ft. to 6000 ft. {Blume.) Many of the above species would doubtless prove hardy in the climate of 1666. Q. lineata. App vi. Mexican Oaks only partially introduced. Acorns of many kinds of Mexican oaks have lately been sent home by Hartweg, and other botanical collectors, so that there can be uo doubt that several of the species enumerated above are already in the country; Q. xalapensis Humb. et Bonp.
