508 Eggleston : Crataegi of Mexico and Central America 



Rose & Hough 4710, between Tepeaca and Santa Rosa, Pueblo, 

 Mexico, June 27, 1899. 



Rose& ffayf2pj, near Dublan, Hidalgo, Mexico, July 2, 1901. 



W. Trelease 40, above Malhalla, Vera Cruz, Mexico, Feb. 19, 

 1905. 



C. subserrata Benth., Hartweg 4.J, Mexico, as seen in the Gray 

 Herbarium, seems to represent a rather entire-leaved form of C. 

 mexicana, which, as to the Gray Herbarium specimen, is not worthy 

 of even a varietal name. 



Crataegus mexicana microsperma var. nov. 

 C. pubescens Watson, Proc. Am. Acad. 22: 396. 1887. Not 



Mespilus pub esc ens H. B. K. 



Leaves narrower than those of the type ; fruit pyriform, yellow, 

 with red cheeks, 10-15 mm. thick ; nutlets 3-5, about 6 mm. long, 

 grooved on the back, with calyx-scar, nest of nutlets 7-8 mm. thick. 



This may prove a good species. 



Type, E. Palmer 4.65, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Sept., 1886. 



The following numbers also I would refer here : 



E. IV. Nelson SSJ) wes t slope of Mt. Zempoaltepec, Oaxaca, 

 Mexico, 7700-8000 feet, July 5-13, 1894. 



E. IV. Nelson 4092, roadside between San Sebastian and the 

 summit of the mountain known as the Bufa de Mascote, Jalisco, 

 Mexico, 7200 feet, Mar. 20, 1897. 



M. E. Jones ij6, Chiquilistlan, Jalisco, Mexico, June I, 1892. 



I doubtfully refer the following numbers to this variety : 



E. IV. Nelson 6555, Patamban, Michoacan, Mexico, 6500-8500 

 feet, Jan. 27, 28, 1903. 



E. Langlassc 45, Village du Durarno, Michoacan et Guerrero, 

 Mexico, Mar. 20, 1899. 



Of no. 465 Dr. Palmer says, "Twenty feet high ; fruit yellow 

 with black dots, and often a red blush on one side, Guadalajara ; 

 September (465). Tejocote, a jelly, is made from the fruit, resem- 

 bling that from the quince."

 Mespilus stipulosa H.B.K. Nov. Gen. et Sp. 6 : 213. 1824. 



Material from Gautemala matches this species better than any 

 other I have seen. The leaves are oblong or obovate-oblong,
