PROVINCE oF QueBEC: Roadside in the Indian village of Caugh

Although still known only in a single individual, I venture to 
describe this plant as it is one of the most interesting and distinct of 
Mr. Jack's numerous discoveries in the neighborhood of Montreal, 
differing as it does from all the other species of this group in the large 
and very conspicuous bracts and bractlets of the inflorescence, and 
the much enlarged foliaceous lobes of the mature calyx. 
Crataegus Brunetiana, n. sp. Leaves rhombic to oblong- 
obovate or rarely and usually only on vigorous shoots to ovate, acute, 
mostly concave-cuneate and gradually or abruptly narrowed to the 
glandular base, sharply and generally doubly serrate, with straight or 
incurved teeth tipped with small dark red persistent glands, and more 
or less deeply divided into numerous acuminate lobes; as they unfold 
tinged with red, and villose above and along the midribs and veins 
below, and when the flowers open nearly fully grown and glabrous 
with the exception of a few pale hairs on the upper surface; at 
maturity subcoriaceous, glabrous, dark green and lustrous above, 
light yellow-green below, 5-8 cm. long, 3.5-5 cm. wide, with stout 
midribs and 4 or 5 pairs of primary veins arching to the points of 
the lobes ; petioles stout, more or less wing-margined above, glandu- 
lar, with numerous small dark red glands mostly deciduous before 
autumn, often bright red late in the season like the lower part of the 
midrids; stipules oblong-obovate, rounded or acute at the apex to 
lanceolate, coarsely glandular-serrate, caducous. Flowers about 1.8. 
cm. in diameter on elongated slender pedicels, in broad thin-branched | 
open compound many-flowered corymbs ; bracts and bractlets oblong- 
obovate to lanceolate, glandular-serrate, caducous; calyx-tube nar- 
` rowly obconic, thickly coated with long matted white hairs, the lobes 
gradually narrowed from broad bases, acuminate, coarsely glandular- 
serrate, villose on the upper surface; stamens ro; anthers pale 
yellow; styles 3 or 4, surrounded at the base by a broad ring of pale 
tomentum. Fruit on long pedicels, in many-fruited gracefully 
drooping slightly villose clusters, oblong or slightly obovate, full and 
rounded at the ends, crimson, lustrous, marked by occasional large 
pale dots, 1.3 to 1.5 cm. long, about 1 cm. thick; calyx-cavity deep 
and narrow, the lobes elongated, acuminate, glandular-serrate, villose 
on the upper surface, red above toward the base, closely appressed,
