Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. nom. subnud. Protologue: The fine evergreen Oak sold under this name was found wild on the mountains of the Chekiang province. Full-sized trees are from 30 to 50 feet in height, and are very ornamental. It may interest entomologists to know that the beautiful and rare Dicranocephalus Wallichii was generally found on this species. This Oak is supposed to be hardy in England, and if so it will be a valuable introduction. It is probably distinct from the Hong Kong species, which has been published under this name.
