1905] Sargent, Recently Recognized Species of Crataegus 205 
stout nearly straight light chestnut-brown shining spines 3-3.5 cm. 
long. ' 
In shady upland woods, East Middlebury, Vermont Ezra Brainerd 
(no. rog type!), July and September 1900, May, July and August, 
IgOl. 
This species differs from C. matura, Sarg., to which it was first 
doubtfully referred, in its larger and more deeply lobed and much 
thicker leaves, larger fruit, and in its habit. As noted by President 
Brainerd C. viridimontana, more than any other species of western 
Vermont, grows in woods in the dense shade of other trees. 
Stamens 18-20. 
Crataegus Edsoni, n. sp. 
Crataegus matura, Sarg., RHODORA, iii. 24 (1901) so far as relates 
to the flowers (see RHODORA, V. 144). 
Leaves oblong-ovate to oval, acuminate, gradually narrowed and 
rounded or cuneate at the base, sharply often doubly serrate, with 
straight or incurved glandular teeth, and divided above the middle 
into 4 or s pairs of short broad acuminate spreading lobes, when they 
unfold deeply tinged with red and roughened above by short white 
hairs and sparingly villose below along the midribs and veins, when 
the flowers open during the last week in May membranaceous, light 
yellow-green above and pale below, and at maturity thin, dark yel- 
low and smooth on the upper and paler on the lower surface, 6-8 cm. 
long and 5-6 cm. wide, with slender yellow midribs, and thin veins 
extending obliquely to the points of the lobes, turning dull orange 
color early in the autumn; petioles slender, narrowly wing-margined 
at the apex, nearly terete, glandular above the middle, with large 
persistent glands, 2-3 cm. in length; stipules linear, acuminate, glan- 
dular, caducous, leaves on vigorous shoots long-pointed, coarsely 
serrate, more deeply lobed, often 8-9 cm. long and 7 cm. wide, with 
stout petioles broadly winged to below the middle and often rose- 
colored toward the base in the autumn. Flowers about 1.8 cm. in 
diameter, on long slender glabrous pedicels, in compact usually 7- or 
8-fowered corymbs, with linear-obovate glandular bracts and bract- 
lets; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, glabrous, the lobes slender, red 
and glandular at the acuminate apex, entire or occasionally dentate 
near the base, glabrous, reflexed after anthesis; stamens 18-20; fil- 
aments persistent, dark red and conspicuous on the fruit; anthers 
pink; styles 3-5, surrounded at the base by a narrow ring of pale 
tomentum. Fruit ripening early in September, on slender drooping 
reddish pedicels, in many-fruited clusters, subglobose to short-oblong 
on obovate, bright cherry red, lustrous, marked by small pale dots, 
1.3-1.5 cm. in diameter; calyx little enlarged, with a broad deep cav-
