1912] Wiegand,— Amelanchier in eastern North America — 159 
(30) mm. long, in fruit scarcely longer (15-30 mm.): flowers small: 
petals broad and short, oblong-oval or oval, broadest at the middle, 
6-9 mm. long: hypanthium 3-6 mm. wide, campanulate below, more 
spreading above, constricted below on the young fruit and then 
prominent: sepals 3-4 mm. long, triangular subulate, more or less 
persistently tomentose within even in fruit, loosely spreading, varying 
from nearly erect to somewhat revolute: ovary densely woolly at the 
summit, tapering into the somewhat thickened woolly style-base: fruit 
large for the genus, 13 mm. in diameter or less, ovoid, dark purple, 
edible. Flowers appearing rather late; fruit maturing in late July 
or in August, but not of the best quality. Kies. 8 A-H. 
Damp uplands and borders of bogs, Labrador to mountains of 
Massachusetts, Adirondack and Catskill Mountains of New York, 
Pocono Plateau of Pennsylvania, and westward through Canada to 
northern Michigan and Minnesota. 
Easily distinguished from all eastern species by the almost solitary 
and apparently axillary flowers, and the nearly sessile leaves, which 
are not conduplicate, but flat or near so when young, as well as by 
the more tapering summit of the ovary. "The teeth of the leaves, also, 
have a peculiar look which is soon learned by experience.
