Crataegus

not marked as a favorite taxon Crataegus mendosa Beadle. Common name: Albertville Hawthorn. Phenology: Apr; Sep.

SC, wc. GA, ne. and c. AL, and c. and s. MS.

Glossary (beta!)

ID notes: The often-obtuse leaf apex and accompanying obscure, blunt lobes and sub-crenate teeth are characteristic; the glabrous foliage coupled with 20 stamens per flower help separate this species from members of the Intricatae series.

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: Allied to C. pulcherrima Ashe, and perhaps only a variant of it, C. mendosa is distributed northward and eastward beyond the bulk of the range of C. pulcherrima, and the only member of the Pulcherrimae series known to occur in SC.
