A tree, 18-20 high, with a tall trunk S'-IO 7 in diameter, wide-spreading branches form- 

 ing a handsome symmetrical head, and stout branchlets dark green and coated with matted 

 pale hairs when they first appear, soon becoming light red-brown, light orange-brown and 

 lustrous in their second year, and armed with thick nearly straight bright chestnut-brown 

 spines often 3' in length. 



Distribution. Sandy shores of Lake Zurich, Lake County, Illinois.

Leaves broad-ovate to suborbicular, rounded and often short-pointed at apex, rounded, 

 broadly cuneate or truncate at the entire base, coarsely serrate above with straight gland- 

 tipped teeth, and divided usually only above the middle into several short broad acute or 

 acuminate lobes, about half grown when the flowers open during the last week of April and 

 then thin, yellow-green, covered above with short pale hairs and pubescent below on the 

 midrib and veins, and at maturity thin but firm in texture, dark yellow-green, glabrous 

 and smooth on the upper surface, pale and glabrous on the lower surface with the exception 

 of a few hairs near the base of the thin yellow midrib and of the 4 or 5 pairs of slender prom- 

 inent primary veins arching to the point of the lobes, 9!-9# long, If '-2|' wide, and often 

 broader than long; petioles slender, slightly winged at apex, villose white young with long 

 matted white hairs, becoming glabrous, f '-!' in length. Flowers f ' in diameter, on slender 

 hairy pedicels, in compact 5-10-flowered villose corymbs, with oblong-obovate to linear 

 acuminate glandular bracts and bractlets mostly persistent until the flowers open; calyx- 

 tube broadly obconic, slightly hairy at base, glabrous above, the lobes slender, acuminate, 

 glandular with minute dark red stipitate glands, or entire, glabrous on the outer surface, 

 sparingly villose on the inner surface; stamens 20; anthers pale rose color; styles 5. Fruit 

 ripening at the end of September and soon falling, on long slender glabrous pedicels, in few- 

 fruited drooping clusters, subglobose to short-ovoid, bright yellow, marked by many small
