Pyrus angustifolia, Ait. (Malus coronaria, Brit. M. an- gustifolia, 
Michx. M. sempervirens, Desf. P. semper- virens, Willd. M. microcarpa 
var. sempervirens, Wenz.). Small tree, to 20 or 30 ft.: lvs. 
lance-oblong, crenate- serrate or almost entire, not lobed or only 
slightly so, thick and partially evergreen, rounded at apex, cuneate at 
base: fls. 1 in. across, fragrant, in few-fld. umbels, 
slender-pedicelled; calyx-tube glabrous or pubescent outside, the lobes 
narrow-acuminate and with rigid points and tomentose inside; petals 
narrow- obovate, slender-clawed; styles tomentose below: fr. subglobose 
to slightly pyriform, 3/4-1 in. diam., with cavities at both ends, 
yellow-green and fragrant. Va. to Fla. and Miss. S.S. 4:169. B.R. 1207. 
A double-fld. form is sometimes described and figured as P. angus- 
tifolia, but it is properly P. ioensis (No. 44). Var. puberula, Bailey 
(M. coronaria var. puberula, Rehd. M. angustifolia var. puberula, 
Rehd.), in Miss, and La., differs mostly in its pointed lvs., which are 
lightly pubescent beneath when young, and by the slightly villous 
pedicels.
