 somewhat glaucous. Leaves thick, broadly elliptic or almost orbicular, very ob- 

 tuse and often truncate at the apex, rounded or subcordate at the base, coarsely 

 dentate above the middle, 1-5 cm. long; racemes short, rather dense; pedicels 

 short; petals oblanceolate, cuneate. 6-18 mm. long, 2-4 times the length of the

 (1. F. f. 1990.) A shrub, glabrous or very nearly so, except the early deciduous 

 bracts, which are sometimes tomentose. Leaves thin, narrowly oval or oblong, 

 generally about 3 times as long as broad, narrowed at each end, finely and sharply 

 serrate, 2-8 cm. long; racemes 1-4-flowered ; pedicels slender; petals obovate or 

 oblanceolate, 6-8 mm. long, about twice as long as the calyx; pome pear-shaped, 

 purple, with a bloom, 6-8 mm. long. In cold swamps or wet rocky places, Lab. 

 to Out., Penn. and Mich. May. 



6. CRATAEGUS L. (See Appendix.) 



Shrubs or small trees, usually spiny, with petioled leaves and white or pink 

 corymbose flowers. Calyx-tube cup-shaped or campanulate, adnate to the carpels, 

 its limb 5-lobed. Petals 5, rounded, inserted on the throat of the calyx. Stamens 

 00 , usually numerous ; filaments filiform. Ovary inferior, or its summit free, 

 1-5-celled; styles 1-5, separate; ovule I in each carpel, or if 2, dissimilar. Pome 

 rather small, drupe-like, containing 1-5 bony carpels, each 1 -seeded or rarely 

 2-seeded. Seed erect, flattish. [Greek, strong, from the toughness of the wood.]
