3 C. asperifolia 



Stamens 5-15 ; leaves oval to obovate, scabrate above at maturity ; fruit sub-

Crataegus brachyloba n. sp. 



Leaves ovate to oval, acuminate, concave-cuneate at the entire 

 base, finely doubly serrate above, with straight or incurved glandular 

 teeth, and divided usually only above the middle into 5 or 6 pairs 

 of very short acuminate spreading lobes; slightly tinged with red 

 when they unfold, roughened above by short white hairs and 

 glabrous below, more than half grown when the flowers open during 

 the last week of Alay and then membranaceous, yellow-green and 

 scabrate on the upper surface and pale on the lower surface, and 

 at maturity thick to subcoriaceous, dark blue-green, smooth and 

 glabrous above, pale below, 5-7 cm long and 3.5-5 cm wide, with 

 slender yellow midribs, and 5 or 6 pairs of thin primary veins ; 

 petioles slender, slightly wing-margined at the apex, glabrous, gland- 

 ular often through the season, with minute scattered glands, and 

 2-3 cm in length ; stipules linear, acuminate, glandular, fading 

 brown, caducous ; leaves on vigorous shoots subcoriaceous, long- 

 pointed and acuminate at the apex, gradually narrowed and rounded 

 at the base, coarsely serrate, with thick midribs and stout broadly 

 winged conspicuously glandular rose colored petioles. Flowers 1.5 

 cm in diameter, on slender glabrous pedicels, in wide mostly 

 8-i2-flowcred corymbs, their lower peduncles from the axils of 

 upper leaves ; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, glabrous, the lobes grad- 

 ually narrowed from wide bases, entire, red and glandular at the 

 acuminate apex, rcflcxcd after anthcsis ; stamens 20, filaments often
