Valley of the Passumpsic River, Essex County, Vermont, W. W. 
Eggleston, north of Lyndonville (no. 3400 type!), Bloomfield (no.

This species is named for Miss Isabel Monteith Paddock, curator 
of the botanical department of the Fairbanks Museum of Natural 
Science, St. Johnsbury, Vermont. 
Crataegus Napaea, n. sp. Leaves oblong-ovate, abruptly nar- 
rowed and long-pointed at the acuminate apex, rounded at the 
gradually narrowed base, sharply often doubly serrate, with straight 
glandular teeth, and deeply divided into 4 or 5 pairs of acuminate 
spreading lobes, more than half-grown when the flowers open about 
the 20th of May and then membranaceous, dark yellow-green, covered 
with short white hairs, and smooth and lustrous above and pale below, 
and at maturity thin, yellow-green and lustrous on the upper and pale 
on the lower surface, 7-9 cm. long and 5-7 cm. wide, with thin orange- 
colored midribs, and slender primary veins arching obliquely to the 
points of the lobes; petioles slender, wing-margined at the apex, 
nearly terete, glandular, with scattered persistent glands, rose-col- 
ored in the autumn, 3.5-4 cm. in length; leaves on vigorous shoots 
longer-pointed, often gradually narrowed and cuneate at the base, 
coarsely serrate, deeply lobed, often 9-10 cm. long and occasionally 
not more than 5-6 cm. wide, with stout broadly winged petioles. 
Flowers small (petals not seen), on long slender glabrous pedicels, 
in lax many-flowered corymbs, the lower branches from the axils of 
upper leaves; calyx narrowly obconic, glabrous, the lobes slender, 
elongated, acuminate, red at the apex, entire or sharply serrate near 
the middle, glabrous, reflexed after anthesis; stamens 5-7 ; filaments 
persistent on the fruit; anthers rose-colored; styles 3 or 4, usually 
4. Fruit ripening about the 20th of September, on long slender 
drooping pedicels, in few-fruited clusters, oblong-obovate, dull red, 
1-1.2 cm. long and 8-9 mm. wide; calyx prominent, with a wide 
shallow cavity, and small closely appressed persistent lobes; flesh 
thick, yellow, dry and mealy; nutlets usually 4, gradually narrowed 
and acute at the ends, very slightly ridged on the rounded back, 6-7 
mm. long and about 5 mm. wide. 
An arborescent shrub 5-6 m. high, with numerous stout ascending 
much branched stems spreading into broad thickets, and slender 
nearly straight branchlets marked by numerous small pale lenticels, 
dark olive-green tinged with red when they first appear, light chest- 
nut-brown and lustrous during their first winter and dull reddish 
brown in their second year, and armed with slender nearly straight 
or curved light chestnut-brown shining spines 4-5 cm. long.
