tember 1905; Cornwall, Connecticut, C. 4. Bissell (no. 54), May 
and September 1903. 
Crataegus viridimontana, n. sp. Leaves ovate, long-pointed 
and acuminate at the apex, gradually narrowed and concave-cuneate 
at the glandular base, finely doubly serrate above, with incurved 
glandular teeth, and deeply divided into 5 or 6 pairs of slender acu- - 
minate spreading lobes, when they unfold tinged with red and coated 
with silky white hairs more abundant on the lower than on the upper 
side, nearly half grown when the flowers open about the 25th of May 
and then membranaceous, light yellow-green and roughened above 
by short white hairs and pale and glabrous below, and at maturity 
thick and firm in texture, dark green, lustrous and scabrate on the 
upper and pale on the lower surface, 5-5.5 cm. long and 4-5 cm. 
wide, with slender yellow midribs, and thin primary veins arching 
obliquely to the points of the lobes; petioles slender, slightly wing- 
margined at the apex, glabrous, glandular toward the apex, rose- 
colored when they first appear, soon yellow, 2.5-3 cm. in length; 
stipules linear, glandular, fading rose color, caducous; leaves on 
vigorous shoots oblong-ovate to rhombic, long-pointed, cuneate at the 
base, coarsely serrate, deeply divided into broad spreading lobes, 
7-9 cm. long and 5-7 cm. wide, with stout broadly winged conspic- 
uously glandular petioles, and foliaceous lunate coarsely glandular- 
serrate persistent stipules. Flowers 1.6 cm. in diameter, on long 
slender glabrous pedicels, in mostly 5—9-flowered corymbs, with linear 
glandular caducous bracts and bractlets; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, 
glabrous, the lobes gradually narrowed from wide bases, elongated, 
acuminate and glandular at the apex, entire or sparingly glandular 
toward the middle, glabrous, reflexed after anthesis ; stamens 5-10; 
anthers large, dark rose color; styles 2-4, usually 4, surrounded at 
the base by a narrow ring of pale tomentum. Fruit ripening from 
the middle to the end of August and persistent for nearly another 
month, on slender elongated reddish pedicels, in few-fruited drooping 
clusters, short-oblong, full and rounded at the ends, crimson, slightly 
pruinose, marked by numerous small pale dots, 1.2-1.5 cm. long and 
about 1 cm. wide; calyx little enlarged, with a deep narrow cavity, 
and erect often incurved lobes only slightly glandular-serrate toward 
the base; flesh yellow, thick, soft and succulent; nutlets usually 4, 
gradually narrowed at the ends, rounded at the base, often acute at 
the apex, prominently ridged on the back, with a wide grooved ridge, 
dark-colored, 6-7 mm. long and about 5 mm. wide. 
A shrub 5-7 m. high, with slender ascending stems forming an 
open irregular head, and stout nearly straight branchlets marked by 
numerous small pale lenticels, orange-green and glabrous when they 
first appear, bright chestnut-brown and very lustrous during their 
first winter, becoming pale gray-brown, and armed with numerous
