{{Inc| Pyrus halliana, Voss (Malus Halliana, Koehne). Fig. 3289. Bush or small tree, 6-15 ft. tall, with a loose open crown: lvs. long-ovate, glabrous, leathery, crenate- serrulate, the petioles short: fls. rose-colored, more or less polygamous, hanging on slender reddish pedicels, the calyx-lobes often more or less obtuse, the styles usually 4: fr. size of a pea or somewhat larger (1/4-1/3in. diam.), abruptly contracted into a thickened pedicel, brownish red, ripening late in autumn and containing very large seeds. W. China; cult, in Japan. M.D.G. 1899:457. One of the handsomest of the flowering apples. Var. Parkmanii, Bailey (P. Parkmanii, Hort.), is the double-fld. form: named for Francis Parkman, the historian, in whose garden near Boston it was first grown in this country. Malus Hartwigii, Hort., is a hybrid of German origin, between P. Halliana and P. baccata.—P. Halliana is a beautiful little tree which was recognized among horticulturists before it was described by botanists. The first naming of it in Pyrus in such a way as to gain nomencla- torial standing with botanists seems to have been by Voss in Vilmorin's Blumengartnerei, 3d ed., 1896. Rehder distinguishes the species as follows (in Sargent, ;'Trees and Shrubs," 1:35, from which also Fig. 3289 is reduced): It is allied to P. baccata, and P. pulcherrima; from the first it is distinguished by the leathery lvs., the color of the fls., the much shorter sepals, the purple calyx and pedicels, and the 4- or 5-celfed very late-ripening fr.; from P. pulcherrima it is distinguished by the convolute vernation of the glabrous lvs., the color of the larger fls., the shorter sepals, and the glabrous purple pedicels and calyx. In foliage and fls. it much resembles P. resembles P.spectabilis, which, however, differs by its pubescence and the much larger fr. crowned by the persistent calyx. From other species it differs in its polygamous fls. There is at least 1 staminate fl. in each umbel, and this is always terminal; sometimes there are 2 or 3, but the number of staminate fls. rarely exceeds that of the perfect ones. In the staminate fls. there is no trace of reduced pistils. The species was intro. to American gardens about 1863 by G. R. Hall (see p. 1578, Vol. III). }} Describe the plant here... ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
