older name for this species is C. Dodgez, Ashe, Jour. Elisha Mitchell 
Sci. Soc. xix. 26 (March 1903). It is now known to range from

eastern Michigan, and to occur in eastern Pennsylvania, 
Crataegus praetermissa, n. sp. Leaves broadly ovate to sub- 
orbicular or rarely oval, short-pointed and acuminate at the apex, 
broad, rounded or truncate or gradually narrowed and concave- 
cuneate at the glandular base, finely and often doubly serrate above, 
with straight gland-tipped teeth, and deeply divided into 4 or 5 pairs 
of slender acuminate lobes, more than half-grown when the flowers 
open the middle of May and then thin, yellow-green, lustrous and 
roughened above by short white hairs and paler and villose below 
especially along the midribs and veins, and at maturity thin but firm 
in texture, dark yellowish green, smooth and lustrous on the upper 
and pale and still villose on the lower surface along the slender yel- 
low midribs, and thin veins arching obliquely to the points of the 
lobes, 5-6 cm. long and often as broad as long; petioles slender, 
slightly wing-margined at the apex, grooved on the upper side, glan- 
dular, with generally persistent glands, at first densely villose, becom- 
ing puberulous or nearly glabrous, 2-3 cm. in length. Flowers on 
short stout densely villose pedicels, in usually 5—7-flowered hairy 
corymbs; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, thickly coated with matted 
pale hairs, the lobes broad, acuminate, finely glandular-serrate, 
densely villose on the outer, sparingly villose on the inner surface, 
reflexed after anthesis; stamens 5-10; anthers white; styles 3 or 4. 
Fruit ripening about the middle of September and remaining on the 
branches until early in October, on long slender drooping sparingly 
hairy reddish pedicels, in few-fruited clusters, short-oblong to ovate, 
crimson, marked by small pale dots, hairy especially at the ends, 1— 
1.2 cm. long, 8-9 mm. in diameter, calyx litlle enlarged, with a wide 
deep cavity and spreading closely appressed villose lobes, their tips 
often deciduous from the ripe fruit; flesh thin, yellow, green, dry and 
mealy; nutlets 3 or usually 4, rounded at the base, gradually nar- 
rowed and rounded at the apex, only slightly ridged on the narrow 
back, about 7 mm. long and 4-5 mm. wide. 
A shrub 2-3 m. high, with slender erect intricately branched 
stems, and very slender nearly straight branchlets marked by oblong 
pale lenticels, light green and thickly coated with matted pale hairs
