1901; State Line, Salisbury, C. Æ. Bissell, May and September 1902. 
MASSACHUSETTS; hill west of the main street, Great Barrington, 
Brainerd and Sargent, May 31, 1902, C. S. Sargent, September 1902 ; 
roadside, North Adams to Williamstown, Brainerd and Sargent, May 
29, 1902, C. S. Sargent, September 1902; Amherst, G. Æ. Stone, May

ber 1900, June 1901. New York: Westport, C. Z7. Peck, May 1902. 
The plants growing on the Poquonomoc Plain should be considered 
to represent the type of this species. The specimens collected by 
Andrews at Southington have much more hairy young branchlets and 
corymbs and larger fruit, and the plants from northern Connecticut, 
Massachusetts and New York are quite glabrous with the exception 
of the hairs on the upper surface of the young leaves. 
I am glad to associate with this distinct species the name of Dr. 
C. B. Graves of New London, who has patiently and successfully 
studied during the last two years the numerous forms of Crataegus 
which he has found in New London County, Connecticut. 
Crataegus Faxoni, n. sp. Leaves broadly ovate to suborbicular 
or rarely oval, rounded and short-pointed or acuminate at the apex, 
rounded, truncate or cuneate at the usually broad entire often glan- 
dular base, finely serrate above, with straight incurved teeth tipped 
with large dark glands, and slightly divided into 4 or 5 pairs of short 
acute or acuminate lobes; coated above until after the flowering time 
with long soft white hairs and densely hoary tomentose below; at 
maturity thin but firm in texture, dark dull green and glabrous on 
the upper surface, pale and glabrous on the lower surface, with the 
exception of a few hairs scattered along the stout midribs deeply 
impressed above and the prominent primary veins arching obliquely 
to the points of the lobes, 4-5 cm. long and 3.5—4 cm. wide, or on 
leading shoots often 6 cm. long and wide; petioles slender, grooved, 
often slightly winged at the apex by the decurrent base of the leaf- 
blades, villose at first, glandular with minute dark red scattered 
glands caducous except on vigorous shoots, glabrous in the autumn, 
2—2.5 cm. in length; stipules linear to oblong-obovate, acute, finely 
glandular-serrate, villose, 7-8 mm. in length, caducous. Flowers 1 
cm. in diameter on short stout villose pedicels, in compact 7—9-flow- 
ered densely villose compound corymbs ; bracts and bractlets linear 
to oblong-obovate, acuminate, finely glandular-serrate, turning brown 
in fading, caducous; calyx-tube broadly obconic, villose particularly 
toward the base, the lobes gradually narrowed, slender, acuminate, 
slightly villose, glandular-serrate; stamens 5—10, usually 5; anthers 
pale yellow; styles 3 or 4. Fruit mostly erect on stout glabrous or 
slightly villose peduncles, in few-fruited clusters, oblong, full and 
rounded at the ends, dark crimson, lustrous, marked by few large
