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. 1586. q. falc^ta. 1587. e. falclta. New Jersey, the leaves are three-lobed (like those shown in Jig. , from the Histoire des Chines), except a few on the summit, which are slightly falcated. Generally the lower branches of all trees of this species, growing in moist and shaded situations, have their leaves trilobed ; while those on the upper branches are falcated, with their lobes even more arched than those in Jig. 1586. This remarkable difference led the elder Michaux to describe the specimens which he had found growing in very cold bad land as a. triloba; and on the young shoots of these specimens he frequently found leaves deeply denticulated or lobed, like those of Q. rubra or Q. coccinea, as represented at a in Jig, 1587. The acorns are small, round, brown, and contained in slightly scaly, shallow, top-shaped cups, supported on short peduncles : they resemble those of Q. Banfsten, and, like them, preserve the power of germination for a long time. It 18. TiNCTo'RiA Wittd. The Quercitron, or Dyer's, Oak. Identification. Willd. Sp. PI., 4. p. 444.; Pursh Fl. Amer.
