Borders of woods in low bottom lands of Wet-stone brook near 

 the Honeoye state road, Richmond, Ontario co., Henry T. Brown 

 (;^''38, type). May 28 and October 17, 1906. 



Both Brown and Henry having been used in forming specific 

 names in Crataegus, Crataegus harryi, one of the most 

 distinct and interesting of his discoveries will serve to commemorate 

 the name of Henry T. Brown of Rochester, New York, who has 

 carefully studied and collected the numerous thorns found by him 

 near Hemlock and Honeoye lakes in Livingston and Ontario counties.
