Crataegus succulenta Schrader ex Link var. succulenta . Fleshy Hawthorn. Phen: Apr-Jun; Sep-Oct. Hab: Rocky summits, mesic forests, upland pastures, especially over basic soil or mafic substrates. Dist: Widespread from eastern Canada and Great Lakes area to New England, s. from MN to n. MO, OH, PA, extending along the Appalachians in WV, VA and NC.

ID notes: The obovate or suborbicular leaves with reticulate venation, numerous long thorns (5-9 cm long), and pitted pyrenes is a definitive combination of traits distinguishing this species in our area.

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: The true genetic relationship of this 20-stamened, smaller-anthered (0.5-1 mm) entity to the 10-stamened and wide-ranging macracantha is problematic in our region.
