 The variety or sub-species acerha is undoubtedly indigenous in our 

 woods, and I think it questionable if mitis is not a wild form also, though 

 probably many of our bushes of the latter have sprung from seeds of 

 cultivated apples. Blitis most frequently occurs singly. Forms inter- 

 mediate between it and acerha are to be met with. I have noticed one 

 by the tramway (District iv.) producing flowers with the long stalks of 

 acerha, yet having petals the size of those of mitis, whilst the young 

 leaves were only slightly pubescent beneath.
