C. prunifolia ; foliis oblongis insequaliter serratis glabriusculis, spinis medio-

C. prunifolia. Bosc. in DC. prodr. 2. 627. 
Mespilus prunifolia. Poir. Dict. 4. 443. 
Apparently a distinct species of Thorn in the way of 
C. crus-galli ovalifolia, from which it is readily known by 
its shaggy flower-stalks, and its less pear-shaped fruits, eac 
of which contains 2 instead.of 3 stones. 
Its mode of growth is very much that of the broad-leaved 
Crategus Crus Galli, but it is a taller tree, with a richer 
green in the summer, and a deeper tint of crimson in its 
autumnal leaves. It does not lose its leaves till late. 
Said to be a native of North America.
