Quercus alba, Linn. White Oak. Figs. 3304, 3306, 3313. Tree, to 100 ft., with stout spreading branches forming a broad, open head: bark light gray: lvs. obovate or oblong-obovate, narrowed at the base, with 3-8 pairs of rather narrow obtuse and sometimes toothed lobes, pubescent when young, soon glabrous, bright green above, glaucescent beneath: fr. short- or long-stalked; acorn oblong-ovate, 1 in. high, embraced about one-fourth by the shallow cup; scales closely appressed. Maine to Fla., west to Minn. and Texas. S.S. 8:356, 357. Em. 1:145. G.F. 3:91; 4:6, 7; 5:259, 450. F.E. 20:650 (pl. 110); 32:489.—The white oak is one of the noblest trees of the northern states and a beautiful park tree, where space can be allowed for its full development; the foliage assumes a beautiful deep vinous red or violet-purple color in fall. Var. repanda, Michx., is a form in which the lvs. have rather shallow sinuses and the frs. are usually short-stalked. Var. pinnatifida, Michx., has the lvs. deeply pinnatifid with narrow often deeply toothed lobes and the frs. usually slender-stalked. S.S. 8:358. Hybrids of this species with Q. macrocarpa, Q. montana, and Q. stellata are known. S.S. 8:359-61. The hybrid with Q. montana was found in the nursery of John Saul, near Washington, D. C., and has been distributed as Saul's oak (Q. Saulii, Schneid.).
