mistakably places the species, as there is only this one-flowered species 
in the region. See also Miller's Dict. ed. VIII (1768) under C. 
tomentosa L., as also Michaux, etc., for further confirmation of our 
views.

Polpis, September 5, 1904, E. P. Bicknell (type, in Herbarium of the 
New York Botanical Garden); also Quaise, September 19, 1907, 
E. P. Bicknell. Mr. Bicknell says “this is a round-topped shrubby 
tree, sometimes 3 m. high, of which I know only a few individuals.” 
The only other native thorn that I have seen from Nantucket is a 
specimen of the Intricatae (in leaf only), collected by Mr. Bicknell. 
This is likely to be С. apposita Sarg.
