This variety seems to be restricted to the southwestern part of the Great 

 Lakes region, its range extending from southern Ontario to central Ohio 

 and to middle and northwestern Indiana and probably to northeastern 



Ilhnois. 



The flowering specimens show some resemblance to 3/. glaiicescens 



Rehder which is an AUeghanian species ranging from northwestern New 

 York to northern Alabama, but they differ in the more or less villous calyx 

 while the pedicels are glabrate and in the narrower and longer leaves less 

 deeply lobed and less glaucescent; the adult leaves of vigorous shoots 

 differ still more being less deeply lobed, green or only shghtly glau- 

 cescent beneath and particularly toward the end of the shoots pubescent on 

 the midrib beneath and borne on short, pubescent petioles; such leaves oc- 

 cur in M. coronaria but not in M, glaucescens. 



Malus coronaria var. dasycalyx f. Charlottae, forma nov. 

 A typo varietatis recedit floribus semiplenis majori})us. 



Hort. E. P. DeWolf, Waukegan, Illinois. June 1, 1919, and June 20. 1920,

This handsome double-flowered form was discovered about eighteen years 

 ago by Mrs. Charlotte M. DeWolf, near Waukegan. It is the second 

 double-flowered form known of American Crab Apples. From the well 

 known Bcchtel Crab, M, ioensis plena, it is easily distinguished by the 

 characters in which 3/. coronaria var. dasycalyx differs from M. ioensis. 



Malus coronaria Charlottae is apparently fully as handsome as the Bechtel 

 Crab and will probably become like that form a favorite ornamental tree. 



Malus angustifolia Mill. f. pendula, forma nov. 



A typo recedit ramulis graciiibus pendulis, 



Florida. Gadsden County: River Junction, June 25, 1914. T. G. Harbison 

 (No. 129). 



According to Mr. Harbison this form is very conspicuous among 

 other Crab Apples on account of its peculiar weeping habit. It should be 

 introduced into cultivation, as it will prove probably a valuable orna- 

 mental tree,

Malus bracteata originally described from a tree in southeastern Missouri 

 has according to recent extensive collections a much wider range which ex- 

 tends from North Carolina to northwestern Florida and west to southeast- 

 ern Missouri and central Alabama. The chief characters of 3/. hracieata are
