Crataegus Crus-gallii, Linn. Cockspur Thorn. Shrub or tree, to 40 ft.: branches wide-spreading, rigid, often pendulous, with numerous slender spines: lvs. obovate or oblanceolate, irregularly and sharply serrate, usually rounded at the apex, quite glabrous, 1-2½ in. long, often semi-persistent: corymbs glabrous; calyx-lobes entire or minutely serrate: fr. usually globose, red, with usually 2 stones; flesh thin and dry. May, June: fr. late in Oct. Que., south to N. C., west to Mich. S.S. 4:178. Em. 492. R.B. 1:116. G.F. 7:295. G.C. III. 28:244, suppl. Sept. 29.—A very decorative species of distinct habit, handsome in bloom and with snowy, bright red fr., remaining on the branches often until spring; the lvs. assume a brilliant orange and scarlet color in fall. Often used for hedges. Var. inermis, Lange. Spineless form. Var. linearis, Ser. Lvs. linear-lanceolate. Var. nana, Nichols. Dwarf form. Var. pyracanthifolia, Ait. Lvs. elliptic or obovate, usually acute: fr. smaller, brighter red. W. N. Y. and Pa. to Fla. and Tenn. S.S. 13:637. Var. salicifolia, Ait. Lvs. oblanceolate or lanceolate, thinner.
