Crataegiis tanUpcs Sargent 



The lute rij)cnlng fruit first called my alteution to this tree and led mc 

 to describe it as a species. This character, however, has little niori)hological 

 value. It difl'ers, too, from C. Jlolmrshma Ashe In its darker green leaves 

 rougher on the upper surface, larger flowers on often villose i)edicels, and in 

 the shorter pedicels of the more constantly obovoid fruit. In size, habit, 

 and in llie bark of the trunk and branchlets this tree does not differ from 

 C. Jlohnc.siaua with which it grows in Ontario, the Province of Quebec and 

 in central and western New York, and can l)est perhaps be considered a 

 variety of that species. 



Crataegus pedicellata var. gloriosa, n. var. — Crataegus fjloriosa Sargent 

 in Rej). N.Y. State Mus. U^Z, 7!) (1908). 



The rather larger flowers with pink, not deep rose-colored anthers, the 

 somewhat larger more lustrous fruit usually maniillate at ])ase, and ripening 

 a few days earlier, the convex leaves and the somewhat i)aler bark of the 

 trunk, led me at one time to consider this tree specifically distinct from 

 C. pediccUala Sargent. Having seen more of tlie trees growing near Roches- 

 ter, New York, which is the only place where C. gloriosa has been found, I 

 now believe that it is best considered a variety of C. pedicellata which is 

 common In the same rci-Ion.
