Quercus CY? ris Z.?/cow//;e£tna, in full foliage, in the Exeter Nursery. and the tree, in Devonshire, Cornwall, and Somersetshire, where great numbers of'it have been planted, attains the height of from GO ft. to 80ft., or upwards,in from 30 to 40 years. Hayes, in 1794, found, by an accurate measurement of a Lucombe oak, made in the 27th year of its growth from the graft, its height to be 60 ft. : its trunk, at 4 ft. from the ground, was 4 ft. 6;in. in circumference; and, at the place of grafting, 6 ft. in circumference. The " fairness " of the growth of this tree, he says, and the verdure and long continuance of its leaves, are sufficient motives to induce every planter to wish for some plants of it on his demesne: " but the goodness of the timber yet remains to be proved." (Prac. Treat., p. 172., note.) From a specimen of the wood sent to us by Mr. Pince, which we have compared with the wood of the British oak, and also of the Fulharn oak, it appears decidedly closer-grained and heavier than that of either. On writing to Messrs. Lucombe and Pince of the Exeter Nursery for the history of the old Lucombe oak, we received the following an- swer. We may premise that the present Mr. Lucombe is in his 85th year, and that he perfectly recollects his father raising the Lucombe
