1903] Sargent,— Recently recognized Species of Crataegus 109 
texture, dark yellow-green above, pale below, 6—7 cm. long, 5-6 cm. 
wide, with slender yellow villose midribs and veins; petioles slender, 
villose, sparingly glandular toward the apex, with large dark decidu- 
ous glands, often red in the autumn, 1.5-2.5 cm. in length; stipules 
linear, glandular, caducous. Flowers on stout pedicels, in broad com- 
pound many-flowered densely villose corymbs ; bracts and bractlets 
linear to oblong-obovate, acuminate, glandular-serrate, caducous; 
calyx-tube narrowly obconic, covered with long thickly matted white 
hairs, the lobes narrow, acuminate, glandular-serrate, with bright 
red glands often only above the middle, villose, reflexed after anthe- 
sis; stamens ro; anthers rose color; styles 3—5, often furnished at 
the base with small tufts of pale hairs. Fruit drooping or erect on 
short stout pedicels, in many-fruited villose clusters, oblong, gradu- 
ally narrowed to the full and rounded more or less hairy ends, or 
rarely ovate, bright cherry red, lustrous, marked by few large dark 
dots, 1.7 to r.8 cm. long, about 1.3 cm. wide; calyx comparatively 
small, sessile, with a deep narrow cavity and linear acuminate lobes 
gradually narrowed from broad bases, coarsely glandular-serrate, vil- 
lose-pubescent, dark red on the upper side near the base, reflexed and 
closely appressed or rarely erect and incurved ; flesh thick, bright 
yellow, slightly juicy; nutlets 3-5, thin narrowed and acute at the 
ends, irregularly ridged on the back, with a high rounded ridge, 7-8 
mm. long. 
A broad shrub with numerous stout much-branched stems covered 
with ashy gray bark, 3—4 m. in height, and comparatively slender con- 
spicuously zigzag branchlets marked by many small oblong pale len- 
ticels, dark orange-green and covered when they first appear with 
scattered pale caducous hairs, bright red-brown and lustrous during 
their first season, darker reddish brown the following year, and finally 
ashy gray, and armed with numerous stout nearly straight bright 
chestnut-brown lustrous ultimately gray spines 3.5-5 cm. in length. 
Flowers during the last week of May. Fruit ripens late in September.

September 190o. 
In the first account of Crataegus Pringlei the anthers were de- 
scribed as yellow. This mistake was subsequently corrected; and 
it now seems desirable to separate from that species the shrubby 
plants of Bald Mountain which I formerly considered as representing 
an extreme form of Crataegus Pringlei. Crataegus exclusa is a much 
more hairy plant, with stouter pedicels and much thicker broadly 
ovate not oval leaves, which show none of that tendency to droop
