Received as a present from Mr Hinton (to whom it was sent from Exeter, with many more) one of Mr William Lucombe’s new variety of oaks: it is said to be evergreen, tho’ raised at first from an acorn belong to a deciduous tree.  They are all grafted on stocks of common oaks.  My specimen is a fine young plant, & well-rooted.  The growth of this sort is said to be wonderful.  Vid: philosoph: transact: V: 62: for the year 1772.
