POMACEAE 211 



Grows in dry but moderately fertile sandy soils, often in old 

 fields, apparently confined to the coastal plain. 



6B, 6C. Autauga County. 



7. Sand near Selma. 



lOE. Pike, Barbour and Dale Counties. 



13. Baldwin County. 



Crataegus rufula, Sarg-. (Formerly included in C. aestivalis 

 (Walt.) T. & G., from which it i)erhaps does not differ 

 much.*j May Haw. 



A small low-branched tree with brownish bark, differing from 

 all other haws in Alabama in having tender juicy fruit ripening in 

 May. This fruit makes a beautiful red jelly, which seems to be 

 scarcely known outside of the regions where the tree is indigenous. 



Unlike our other haws, this grows in shallow ponds and 

 sloughs, where the water fluctuates a few to several feet with the 

 seasons. In Alabama it is chiefly confined to a few of the south- 

 ernmost counties. 



12. Washington, Covington and Houston Counties. 



13. Washington (Mohr), Monroe and Escambia Counties. 



14. David's Lake and Pierce's Landing, Mobile County (Mohr). 



Crataegus uniflora, Aluench. 



One of the smallest of all our haws ; a thorny shrub often 

 only two or three feet high. The fruit remains green for a long 

 time. It has no known use, except that it has been offered for 

 sale for ornamental purposes. 



Grows in dry woods, or occasionally in old fields, etc. Not 



very common. 



2A. Jackson County (Harbison). Cullman County (Mohr). 



2B, 6A. Tuscaloosa County. 



6C. Autauga and Montgomerv Counties. 



low. Along L. & N. R. R. north of Searcy, Butler County. 



12. Covington County. 



13. Mobile County (Mohr). 



Crataegus armentalis, Beadle. 



A low shrub, similar to the preceding, except that it is still 

 smaller, and has red fruit. 



Grows in rocky woods in the plateau region. Originally de- 

 scribed from Marshall County, and pointed out to the writer by 

 W. Wolf in Cullman County in September, 1927.
