NOTES ON CRATAEGUS IN THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY. 
C. S. SARGENT. 
THe following notes are based on collections accompanied by 
copious field notes made during the past two seasons by Mr. Ezra 
Brainerd principally in the neighborhood of Middlebury, Vermont, 
and by Mr. W. W. Eggleston near Rutland and Bennington, Vermont. 
They are supplemented by small collections made by Mr. A. W. Edson 
and Professor L. R. Jones near Burlington during 1899 and 1900, 
and by a number of specimens collected near Charlotte by Mr. C. G. 
Pringle and Mr. F. H. Horsford at different times during the last 
twenty-five years. Examination of this material shows that the 
Chaniplain valley is one of the richest regions in the world in forms 
of Crataegus and that the comparatively small part of the state of 
Vermont, extending from Burlington on the north to Bennington on 
the south and from the shores of Lake Champlain to the foot of the 
Green Mountains, contains more forms of the genus than botanists 
recognized only a few years ago on the entire continent of North 
America. Rich as are the collections of Crataegus which have lately 
been made in southwestern Vermont they probably do not exhaust 
the field and a few additions to the following list of Vermont species 
will probably be necessary after another season of field work.
