Quercus lanuginosa, Thuill. (Q. pubescens, Willd.). Tree, to 40 ft., but sometimes remaining shrubby: branches tomentose when young: lvs. pinnately lobed or pinnatifid, with 4-8 pairs of obtuse or acute lobes, glabrous above, pubescent or tomentose and grayish green beneath, 2—4 in. long: fr. almost sessile; acorn ovoid, 1/2-1 in. long: inclosed about one-half by the tomentose cup; scales closely appressed. Cent. and S. Eu., W. Asia. H.W. 2:23, pp. 69-71.—A very variable species, often shrubby, growing mostly on dry, rocky, and often on limestone soil; the more southern forms of it are tender. Var. Hartwissiana, Dipp. (Q. Hartwissiana, Hort.). Lvs. small, rather acutely lobed, yellowish tomentose beneath. Var. pinnatifida, Schneid. (Q. pubescens var. pinnatifida, A. Braun). Lvs. deeply lobed. Var. crispata, Beck, is similar but margin more crisp and under side more tomentose. Var. pendula, Jacq. (Q. Egilops var. pendula and Q. Pseudaegilops pendula, Hort.), with pendulous branches and densely tomentose lvs., resembles the following species and is supposed by some authors to be a hybrid between the two.
