Prunus gracilis, Engelm. & Gray. Oklahoma Plum. A straggling shrub, closely allied to P. maritima, in clumps or thickets, 1-4 ft. high, with grayish bark and reddish brown pubescent young twigs: lvs. oval or ovate, rarely ovate-lanceolate, 1—2 in. long, narrowed either way but sometimes obtusish at apex, finely but lightly pubescent above, strongly pubescent beneath, finely serrate; petiole glandless or with 1 or 2 glands near apex: fls. preceding the lvs., white, 1/3 to nearly 1/2in. broad, on pubescent pedicels; calyx-lobes ovate and acute, entire or denticulate, glandless: fr. globular or ovoid, 1/2-3/4in. diam., mostly red and with light bloom; pit or stone oval, somewhat obtuse at the ends, the surface nearly smooth. W. Ark., Okla. and N. Texas, in dry sandy places.—This species appears to have yielded no named pomological varieties, although the fr. is sometimes collected from the wild for market. P. venulosa, Sarg., is a larger shrub, forming denser thickets, with larger and more coarsely serrate lvs. and glabrous pedicels. It is from N. Texas, but whether a good native species or a hybrid of P. gracilis and P. Reverchonii is undetermined; of no horticultural promise. CH
