Like Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge in northern China, C. hupehensis is largely culti- 

 vated as a fruit tree in some districts in Hupeh. Specimens with young flower-buds 

 and only half-grown fruits collected by D. Macgregor in the vicinity of Ningpo in 

 1908, judging by the flower-buda of the spring branch, may belong to this species, 

 but the very immature fruit is distinctly obovate.

Mr. Wilson's specimens differ from those of all other eastern Asiatic species in 

 the shape of the leaves which are probably densely tomentose early in the season, 

 and at midsummer are distinctly villose especially on the midribs and veins, and I 

 have given it a name in spite of the absence of flowers.
