1905] Sargent, Recently Recognized Species of Crataegus 177 
green on the upper and pale on the lower surface, 5-6 cm. long and 
3-5 cm. wide, with stout midribs tinged with rose late in the season 
on the lower side toward the base, and slender yellow primary veins 
extending obliquely to the points of the lobes; petioles slender, wing- 
margined at the apex, deeply grooved, sparingly villose while young, 
rose-colored in the autumn, 8-18 mm. in length. Flowers about 1.5 
cm. in diameter, on slender villose pedicels, in wide lax many-flow- 
ered hairy corymbs, with linear-obovate to lanceolate glandular bracts 
and bractlets, fading brown and mostly deciduous before the flowers 
open; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, glabrous, the lobes slender, 
acuminate, glandular, with bright red glands, glabrous on the outer 
and coated on the inner surface with shining white hairs, reflexed 
after anthesis; stamens 5-10; anthers pink; styles 2 or 3, usually 2. 
Fruit ripening early in September and soon falling, on slender pedi- 
cels, in few-fruited erect or spreading clusters, subglobose, orange- 
red, lustrous, marked by many small pale dots, 7-8 mm. in diameter; 
calyx little enlarged, with a narrow shallow cavity, and spreading 
lobes serrate above the middle, villose on the upper side and usually 
persistent on the ripe fruit ; flesh thin, yellow, dry and mealy; nutlets 
generally 2, full and rounded at the ends, prominently ridged on the 
back, with a broad deeply grooved ridge, penetrated on their inner 
faces by deep narrow irregular cavities, about 6 mm. long and 5 mm. 
wide. 
A shrub 2-3 m. high, with numerous erect spreading stems, and 
stout zigzag branchlets marked by occasional oblong pale lenticels, 
light orange-green and glabrous when they first appear, becoming 
light reddish brown and lustrous and ultimately dull gray-brown, and 
armed with many straight slender light red-brown shining spines 4-6 
cm. in length.

Anthers pale yellow. 
Crataegus Handyae, n. sp. Leaves broadly ovate to rhombic, 
acute or acuminate, rounded or concave-cuneate at the entire base, 
coarsely doubly serrate above, with straight glandular teeth, and 
divided above the middle into 4 or 5 pairs of broad acuminate lobes, 
more than half grown when the flowers open about the 20th of May 
and then membranaceous, yellow-green, very smooth and glabrous 
above, with the exception of a few hairs on the midribs, and glaucous 
and villose on the sides of the slender yellow midribs and veins below, 
with short white hairs persistent during the season, and at maturity 
thin but firm in texture, dark green, glabrous and lustrous on the 
upper and pale on the lower surface, 6-7 cm. long and 4-6 cm. wide; 
petioles slender, slightly wing margined at the apex, deeply grooved
