Cerasus serotina, var. MONTANA, Small, n. var. A small tree, 
twenty-five feet tall, and with a trunk diameter of 2-5 dm., 
well rounded, rather stiff and not lax; bark early developing 
numerous lenticels; leaves elliptical, oblong-lanceolate or 
lanceolate, 5-17 cm. long, 2-4.5 cm. broad, very coriaceous, 
coarsely serrate, the teeth incurved, dark green above, light 
beneath, rather coarsely veined, glands on the petiole sepa- 
rated from the blade from .2-.5 cm.; inflorescence of short, 
thick, divergent racemes, not drooping, rather few-flowered, 
also bearing two to three leaves; flowers quite large; calyx 
and filaments persistent; drupe large (ripe fruit not seen, half- 
ripe drupes .7 cm. in diameter.) 
A very distinct variety of C. serotina found only on the “balds,” 
near the summit of White Top Mt. at an altitude of about 5,500 
ft. Readily distinguished from the species by the larger, more 
lanceolate and coriaeous leaves, the shorter, thicker and more diver- 
gent racemes and the larger fruit.
