{{Inc| Pyrus fusca, Raf. (P. rivularis, Douglas. Malus rivularis, Roem.). Shrub or small tree, sometimes 30-40 ft. tall, the young growths more or less pubescent: lvs. ovate- lanceolate, acute or acuminate, very sharply and strongly serrate, often 3-lobed or notched on the strong shoots, pubescent beneath: fls. white, on slender pubescent pedicels, appearing when the lvs. are nearly or quite full grown, nearly or fully 1 in. across: fr. oblong, 3/4in. or less long, yellow or greenish, the calyx-lobes caducous. N. Calif, to Alaska. S.S. 4:170.—According to Sargent, P. fusca "grows usually in deep, rich soil in the neighborhood of streams, often forming almost impenetrable thickets of considerable extent, and attains its greatest size in the valleys of Washington and Oregon." The fr. is eaten by Indians. Var. levipes, comb. nov. (Malus fusca var. levipes, Schneid. M. rivularis var. levipes, Koehne. Pyrus rivularis var. levipes, Nutt.), has glabrous infl. and outer surface of calyx. Var. diversifolia, comb. nov. (Pyrus diversi- folia, Bong. Malus fusca var. diversifolia, Schneid. M. rivularis var. diversifolia, Koehne), has white- tomentose infl. and outer surface of calyx. Malus Dawsoniana, Rehd., is a supposed hybrid of P. fusca and P. Malus raised at the Arnold Arboretum and named for Jackson Dawson. In habit it is like P. fusca, but the lvs. are usually broader and more oval, more crenately serrate and rarely lobed: fls. and frs. nearly twice as large, the calyx persistent.
