M. sieboldii (var. arborescens) Rend. 



Rehder in Sargent, PL Wilson. 2: 294 (1915). Illus: E. H. 

 Wilson, America's Greatest Garden, 38 (1925). — Hab. Syns: 

 Pyrus baccata Thun. ; Crataegus alnifolia sensu Regel, non Sieb. 

 & Zucc. ; Crataegus cavaleriei Leveille & Vaniot ; Pirus subcrataegi- 

 folia Leveille; Photinia rubro-lutea Leveille; Malus toringo f. 

 typica Matsum. ; Crataegus taquetii Leveille ; Pyrus esquirolii 

 Leveille; Malus toringo Nakai; Malus sieboldii var. koringo b. 

 vulgaris Koid. Because the taxonomic characters of M. sieboldii 

 var. arborescens, defined by Rehder (46), have been documented 

 by Asami (1 ) as occurring also in the species, this variety is to be 

 regarded as a synonym of M. sieboldii. 



Introd. into cultivation by the Arnold Arboretum from seed 

 collected from Japan by C. S. Sargent in 1882. Habitat : mountains 

 of Japan and Island of Quelpart, Korea.
