 (Rehder.) 



A wild Chinese pear, not uncommon in western Hupeh at altitudes of 

 1,000 to 1,5(X) meters. It is easily recognizable by its comparatively 

 small, crenate leaves and small flowers. This pear maintains a vigorous 

 and healthy appearance under the most trying conditions, and might 

 prove to be a very desirable blight-resistant stock. The woolly aphis has 

 not been known to touch this species. (Adapted from Monthly Bulletin 

 of the California State Commission of Horticulture, vol. 4, V- S13.)

49098. Pyrus calleryana graciliflora Rehder. Malacese. Peax. 

 " This form looks at flowering time quite distinct from the plants we 



consider typical Pyrus calleryana on account of its looser and slenderer 

 inflorescence and the smaller flowers with pink, not purple, anthers." 

 (Journal of the Arnold Arboretum, July, 1920, p. 61.) 



49099. Pyrus calleryana tomentella Rehder. Malacese. Pear. 

 " This form is readily distinguished from the type by the dense white 



tomentum of the young growth and of the inflorescence, which on the 

 branchlets often persists until the following year." {Journal of the 

 Arnold Arboretum., July, 1920, p. 61.)
