Quercus Suber, Linn. Cork Oak. Evergreen tree, to 50 ft., with broad round-topped head and thick, deeply furrowed, spongy, elastic bark: lvs. ovate to oblong, rounded or subcordate at the base, remotely serrate glabrous above, whitish tomentose or sometimes glabrescent beneath, 1-3 in. long: fr. short-stalked; acorn ovate or oblong-ovate, 1/2-1 1/4 in. high, embraced one-third to one-half by the cup; scales thick, usually with short and often recurved tips. S. Eu., N. Afr. H.W. 2, pp. 80, 81. G.W. 8, p. 182.—From this species cork is obtained; it is much cult. for this purpose in E. India and recently also in Calif., where it seems to thrive well. Q. occidentalis, Gay, differs chiefly in the fr. ripening the second year, in the less persistent lvs., the old ones mostly falling in spring, in the shorter scales of the cup and in its greater hardiness; its bark is not distinguished commercially from that of the true cork oak.
