{{Inc| Mespilus (Greek substantive name of doubtful significance). Rosaceae. Mespil. Medlar. Woody plants, grown in Europe for the edible fruit and sometimes planted in this country. From Pyrus, with which this genus is sometimes united, Mespilus differs in bearing the fls. singly on leafy growths of the season (the frs., like the quince, having no true detachable peduncles as do pears and apples), and in having the top of the ovaries not covered by the over-growing receptacle, and the pyrenes readily separable. There is but one species of true Mespilus, although some authors (e.g., Focke, in Engler & Prantl's "Die Naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien") include some of the Crataegus species in the genus. From Crataegus it differs in its fr. (as from Pyrus), in the large fls. borne singly, and the more leaf-like calyx divisions.
