Roemer referred Linn6's Crataegus indica here, but there is no testi- 

 mony that this plant had lanceolate petals. Linnaeus says "Corymbis 

 squamosis" but nothing about the shape of petals. Loureiro says 

 'Petala 5, subrotunda. * f Roemer's conception may have been induced 

 from the remarks of Ker under Raphiolepis salicifolia in Botanical Register, 

 tab. 652. Lindley thought that Linnaeus's Crataegus indica was the same 

 as Loureiro's plant which has roundish petals. This may or may not be 

 so but the shape of the petals is not a specific character, and both Ker's 

 and Lindley *s plant belong to Raphiolepis indica or Crataegus indica.
