(Q. pedunculata Concordia, Kirchn.). Lvs. bright yellow. I.H. 14:537. F.E. 13:1296 (pl. 19). Var. contorta, Hort. A form with twisted branches and crowded lvs. of irregular shape; of slow growth. Var. fastigiata, Schneid. (Q. pedunculata fastigiata, DC.). With upright branches forming a narrow columnar head. G.C. II. 19:179; III. 41:149. G.W. 15:663. F.E. 13:416 (pl. 3) (as var. Lucombeana). Of the same habit are var. fastigiata cupressoides, Hort., with narrower lvs. Var. fastigiata aureo-punctata with yellowish spotted foliage. var. fastigiata viridis with lvs. of darker green. Var. heterophylla, Rehd. (Q. pedunculata heterophylla, Loud. Q. Robur var. laciniata, Schneid., var. comptoniaefolia, Hort.), with narrow, elongated, slightly or crenately lobed, sometimes almost entire lvs. Var. filicifolia, Schneid. (var. asplenifolia, var. Doumetii, Hort.). Fig. 3316. Lvs. deeply and irregularly divided often almost to the midrib in narrow linear lobes, with crisp margins. G.C. II. 14:632. I.H. 1, black fig., not numbered, opposite pl. 33. R.H. 1894, p. 17. Var. pectinata, Schneid. (Q. Robur var. pectinata, Kirchn.). Lvs. regularly pinnately divided nearly to the midrib into linear lobes. Var. pendula, Schneid. (Q. pedunculata pendula, Loud.). With pendulous branches; a form with more slender and more decidedly weeping branches is var. Dauvessei, Hort. Var. purpurascens, DC. (Q. pedunculata purpurascens, DC., var. purpurea, Loud. Q. Robur sanguinea, Schneid.). With the lvs. bright purple when young, becoming almost green at length, or as in the forms distinguished as var. atropurpurea, Schneid., and var. nigra, Hort., the color is more intense and retained through the whole summer. F.S. 17:1783, 1784. There are a number of variegated forms, but of no great ornamental value; the most often cult. are: albo-variegata, argenteo-marginata, argenteopicta, aureo-variegata, marmorata, joreauensis maculata, tricolor.—Hybrids between this species and the following occur occasionally in Eu.
