 India. Collected by Mr. R. E. Cooper and presented by Bees 

 Limited, Liverpool, England, at the request of Mr. A. K. 

 Bulley. "Grows on turf in rock ledges at an elevation of

Malus sargenti Rehder. (Malaceae.) 41572. Seeds from 

 Tokyo, Japan. Presented by Dr. T. Watase, Tokyo Plant, 

 Seed and Implement Company. "A shrub of bushy habit 3 to 

 5 feet high; young shoots downy. Leaves ovate or oval, 2 

 to 3 inches long, 1 to 2 inches wide; pointed at the apex, 

 rounded or slightly heart-shaped at the base, often three- 

 lobed, sharply toothed; wooly when quite young, becoming 

 nearly smooth before falling; stalks downy, 1/3 to 1 inch 

 long. Flowers pure white, 1 inch across, produced in 

 clusters of five or six, each on a stalk 1 to 1-^ inches 

 long; calyx smooth outside, wooly within. Fruit orange 

 shaped, -g- inch wide, bright red, the apex marked by the 

 scar of the fallen calyx. I only know this species by a 

 small specimen sent to Kew by Professor Sargent in 1908, 

 but it appears to be a pretty plant, and distinct among 

 crabs by its purely bushy habit. It was originally dis- 

 covered by Sargent in 1992 near a brackish marsh, Mororan, 

 Japan, and was named in his honor by Mr. Rehder in 1903. 

 The author observes that it is most nearly related to P. 

 toringo, but differs in its larger, pure white flowers with 

 broad overlapping petals and in its larger fruits. From 

 another ally, P. zumi, it is distinguished by its broader, 

 often lobed leaves, the shape of the (broader based) 

 petals, the glabrous calyx-tube and the habit." (W. J. 

 Bean, Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles, Vol. 2, 

 p. 293.)
