Crataegus seclusa n. sp. 
Glabrous with the exception of the hairs on the young leaves 
and calyx-lobes. Leaves broadly ovate, rounded or occasionally 
abruptly cuneate at the wide base, sharply doubly serrate with 
straight glandular teeth, and slightly divided into broad acumin- 
ate lobes; more than half-grown when the flowers open in the 
last week of May and then thin, yellow-green, smooth and 
slightly hairy above and glabrous and glaucescent below, and at 
maturity thin, dark yellow-green and glabrous on the upper 
surface, pale on the lower surface, 5 to 7 cm long and wide, with 
stout midribs, and prominent primary veins extending obliquely 
to the points of the lobes; petioles slender, narrowly wing-mar- 
gined at the apex, slightly hairy on the upper side early in the sea- 
son, soon becoming glabrous, occasionally glandular, 2 to 2.5 cm 
in length." Flowers 1.5 cm in diameter, on long slender pedicels, 
the lower peduncles from the axils of upper leaves; calyx-tube 
narrowly obconic, the lobes gradually narrowed from the base, 
short-acuminate, glandular-serrate, villose on the lower surface, 
reflexed after anthesis; stamens six to ten; anthers dark red; 
styles three or four, surrounded at the base by a ring of white 
tomentum. Fruit ripening at the end of September, on drooping 
red pedicels, subglobose, orange-red, marked by small pale dots, 
slightly pruinose, becoming lustrous, I cm in diameter; calyx 
little enlarged, with a broad, shallow cavity pointed in the bot- 
tom, and spreading closely appressed persistent lobes; flesh thin, 
dry and mealy; nutlets three or four, rounded at the ends, 
rather broader at the apex than at the base, ridged on the back 
with a broad grooved ridge, 1.6 to 1.7 cm long and 3 to 4 mm 
wide, the narrow hypostyle extending nearly to the base of the 
nutlet. 
A shrub 5 to 6 m high, with stout stems covered with rough 
dark brown bark, ascending branches, and slender glabrous,
