shoots foliaceous, lunate, glandular-serrate : trunk, which is 2-3" 
long and 1-2" in diameter, and occasionally armed with gray, 
branched spines, covered with ashy-gray bark, not infrequently 
tinged with brown, or in the shade of the forest dark-gray, 
slightly fissured and broken into many small, plate-like scales: 
branches stout, ascending, armed with dark, chestnut-brown or 
gray, straight or slightly curved spines, 3-7™ long, or larger, the 
bark close and smooth, dark-gray or brown: branchlets smooth, 
the bark dark reddish-brown, sprinkled with small, round or 
elongated, pale lenticels, the whole forming a narrow ofr occa- 
sionally round or flat-topped tree, or a much-branched oval or 
pyramidal shrub. 
Crategus Boyntoni is distributed from Georgia, Alabama, and 
Tennessee to Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, and will 
doubtless be found to extend over a broader area when better — 
known. It is closely related to C. Sargenti, above proposed, but _ 
may be separated by the numerous-flowered, glabrous corymbs, 
shorter pedicels, and fewer stamens, and by the different habit of 
growth. Many specimens are preserved in herbaria, the greater 
part of which are also labeled C. coccinea, C. glandulosa, or ©. 
rotundifolia, My attention was first directed to this form by Mr. 
.F. E. Boynton, of the Biltmore Herbarium, for whom the 
Species is named, by the exhibition of plants loaded with the 
characteristic and distinct fruit, and of branches displaying the 
glandular and brightly colored characters of the unfolding leaves 
and shoots. To this species I refer, in part, the material repre- 
senting the southern distribution of C. rotundifolia of the Illus- 
trated Flora’, and the note under this name published by me !” 
the Boranicat Gazetre3, The type material is preserved in the 
Biltmore Herbarium.
