Crataegus hadleyana n. sp. 

 Leaves broadly ovate, acuminate, rounded or cuneate at the base, 

 finely often doubly serrate with straight glandular teeth, and slightly 

 divided into four or five pairs of short acuminate lateral lobes ; nearly 

 fully grown when the flowers open at the end of May and then 

 thin, light yellow-green and roughened above by short white hairs 

 and paler and glabrous below, and at maturity firm in texture, glab- 

 rous, dark yellow-green and lustrous on the upper surface, pale on 

 the lower surface, 6 to 8 cm long and 5 to 6.5 cm wide, with stout 

 midribs, and slender primary veins arching obliquely to the points 

 of the lobes; petioles stout, wing-margined at the apex, sparingly 

 villose on the upper side while young, becoming glabrous, glandular 

 with occasional minute deciduous glands, 1.5 to 2.5 cm in length. 

 Flowers 1.5 to 1.7 cm in diameter, on long slender slightly villose 

 pedicels, in wide mostly 15-18-flowered corymbs, the much elong- 

 ated slender nearly glabrous lower peduncles from the axils of 

 upper leaves ; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, slightly villose, the 

 lobes long, slender, acuminate, conspicuously glandular-serrate, 

 glabrous on the outer surface, sparingly villose on the inner sur- 

 face, reflexed after anthesis ; stamens six to ten, usually six ; 

 anthers rose color; styles two to five, surrounded at the base by 

 a broad ring of white hairs. Fruit ripening early in October, on 

 glabrous pedicels, in wide, drooping clusters, short-oblong, 

 rounded at the ends, scarlet, lustrous, marked by large pale dots, 

 1 to 1.2 cm long and 9 to 10 cm in diameter; calyx little enlarged, 

 with a deep, narrow cavity pointed in the bottom, and spreading 

 lobes dark red on the upper side below the middle, their tips 

 mostly deciduous from the ripe fruit ; flesh thin, tinged with red, 

 soft and succulent ; nutlets usually two or three, rounded and 

 broadest at the apex, gradually narrowed and rounded at the 

 base, ridged on the back with a broad grooved ridge, 7 to 8
