508 Eggleston : Crataegi of Mexico and Central America 



Rose & Hough ^710, between Tepeaca and Santa Rosa, Pueblo, 



Mexico, June 27, 1899.

C. sttbserrata Benth., Hartweg ^7, 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. piihescens Watson, Proc. Am. Acad. 22: 396. 1887. Not 

 Mespilus piibescens 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 J-^) mm. thick. 



This may prove a good species.

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."
