In- troduced in 1699. Flowers greenish white; May. Acorns brown; occa- sionally ripened in the climate of London. Varieties. These, we have no doubt, are as numerous as the varieties of Q. /"lex, in countries where the tree is indigenous. None are in cultivation in Bi'itish gardens under any particular name: but, the cork trees having been all raised from seed, their leaves will be found to vary in magnitude, in different places, in length relatively to breadth, and in the character of their margins, which are wavy, serrate, or dentate. 5 Q.
