49071. X Crataegus caeeieeei Bean. Malacese. 



"(No. 41. November 17, 1919.) Beautiful tree, leaves rich green to 

 brown and red ; large scarlet fruits." 



A hybrid hawthorn which originated in France and which is one of 

 the most attractive members of this genus. The identity of the parents 

 does not seem to be very clear. M. Carriers described it as a seedling of 

 Crataegus me-vicana; the other parent may be C. crits-gaUi. C. punctata 

 is also mentioned as one of the parents. The glistening white flowers are 

 nearly an inch in diameter, with attractive pink stamens, borne in flattish 

 corymbs in May and June. During the autumn the orange-red fruits, 

 three-fourths of an inch in diameter, make the tree very attractive.
