1905] Sargent, Recently Recognized Species of Crataegus 183 
cm. in length. Flowers opening the first of June, on slender elon- 
gated glabrous or sparingly villose pedicels, in usually 10-12-flowered 
glabrous corymbs, with linear glandular bracts and bractlets fading 
brown; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, glabrous, the lobes slender, 
acuminate, laciniately glandular-serrate, glabrous on the outer, pu- 
perulous on the inner surface; stamens 5-10; anthers rose color; 
styles 2 or 3. Fruit ripening the middle of September, on slender 
red pedicels, in generally 8—10-fruited drooping clusters, subglobose 
but rather broader than long, crimson, lustrous, marked by numer- 
ous small pale dots, 1—1.2 cm. in diameter; calyx little enlarged, with 
a wide shallow cavity, and spreading closely appressed laciniate lobes 
villose-pubescent on the upper side and often deciduous from the 
ripe fruit; flesh thin, orange color, soft and succulent; nutlets 2 or 3, 
full and rounded at the ends, rounded and usually only slightly ridged 
on the back, penetrated on the inner faces by short broad cavities, 
about 7 cm. long and 5 cm. wide. 
A broad shrub 3-4 m. high, with stout spreading stems and thick 
nearly straight branchlets marked by numerous small pale lenticels, 
light orange-green and glabrous when they first appear, bright chest- 
nut-brown and very lustrous during their first winter and ultimately 
dark dull gray-brown, and armed with stout nearly straight purplish 
spines 4-6 cm. in length.

Anthers pale yellow. 
Crataegus Searsi, n. sp. Leaves obovate to ovate, acute or 
acuminate gradually narrowed and cuneate at the entire base, sharply 
often doubly serrate above, with straight glandular teeth, and divided 
above the middle into 4 or 5 pairs of short acuminate spreading 
lobes, deeply tinged with red and coated above with long soft white 
hairs when they unfold, and nearly half grown when the flowers open 
during the last week of May and then membranaceous, dark yellow- 
green, lustrous and roughened above by short rigid white hairs and 
pale and glabrous below, with the exception of a few hairs on the mid- 
ribs and in the axils of the primary veins, and at maturity subcoria- 
ceous, yellow-green, smooth and lustrous on the upper and pale yel- 
low-green, and nearly glabrous on the lower surface, 5-6 cm. long and 
4-5 cm. wide, with slender midribs often tinged with rose on the lower 
side toward the base and thin primary veins extending very obliquely 
to the points of the lobes; petioles slender, wing-margined at the 
apex, villose on the upper side while young, becoming glabrous 1-1.5 
cm. in length ; stipules linear, glandular-serrate, bright red, caducous; 
leaves on vigorous shoots broadly ovate to rhombic, sometimes
