Like Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge in northern China, C. hupehensis is largely culti- 
vated as a fruit tree in some districts in Hupeh. Specimens with young flower-buds 
and only half-grown fruits collected by D. Macgregor in the vicinity of Ningpo in 
1908, judging by the flower-buds of the spring branch, may belong to this species, 
but the very immature fruit is distinctly obovate.

Mr. Wilson’s specimens differ from those of all other eastern Asiatic species in 
the shape of the leaves which are probably densely tomentose early in the season, 
and at midsummer are distinctly villose especially on the midribs and veins, and I 
have given it a name in spite of the absence of flowers.
