Crataegus fecunda appears to be related to the Crataegus elliptica of 
Aiton but not of later authors, and to a group of species or varieties culti- 
vated in Europe as Crataegus Crus-galli splendens, C. vataegus ovalifolia, and 
Crataegus prunifolia, forms, although evidently of American origin, which 
are not now known to grow naturally in the United States. From these 
Crataegus fecunda differs in its thinner, larger, usually more acute and more 
coarsely dentate leaves, in its slightly villose not tomentose cymes, in the 
form, color and texture of the fruit, in the color of the young branches and in 
"ts more slender and more scattered spines.
