Schuette Hawthorns of Northeastern Wisconsin. 97 



filiform, slender, marginless, usually as long as or longer than half the 

 length of the blade, beset with few glands. The blade is broad-ovate in 

 outline, acute at the top, obscurely protracted at the cordate, truncate 

 or rounded base, lower face soon glabrous, teeth sharply acute, slightly 

 glandular-tipped or glandless. Bud scales obovate, red; stipules like 

 the bracts linear to narrow-lanceolate, reddish or yellowish, soon decid 

 uous, lined on the margins with brown or yellow glands. Corymbs com 

 pound, glabrous, sometimes thinly scattered with deciduous or fugaceous 

 soft hairs. Calyx cup glabrous; sepals glabrous outside, slightly hairy 

 or smooth inside, either with a few or more basal glandular teeth or 

 entire and glandless. Stamens in some forms 12-20, usually not ex 

 ceeding 12; anthers red; pistils 3-5; fruits ovoid, red, the size of large 

 peas. Flowering from the end of May. Frequent on dry soil. 



In the type, cordate and truncate leaves are prevalent; the sepals more 

 or less toothed and glandular, hairy inside; the stamens rarely more 

 than 12, and the thorns usually slender. Crataegus coccinea eglandulosa 

 subsp. nov. (type specimen, No. 431,494, U. S. National Herbarium), 

 on dry, exposed soil, has entire (or nearly so), glandless sepals, 

 being glabrous within or obscurely hairy: usually 5-8 stamens; 3 or 4 

 styles; and usually stout and short thorns. C. schuettei Ashe, close to 

 the type and perhaps only a variety, is distinguished by the toothed and 

 glandular, ventrally hairy sepals, the mostly 12-20 stamens, the petioles 

 with a deep, hairy, longitudinal groove. It is of slightly higher growth 

 and prefers somewhat moist soil.
