Pyrus glaucescens, Bailey (Malus glaucescens, Rehd.). Fig. 3297-3299. Small tree or large shrub, with twiggy spiny head, the branchlets glabrous or at first slightly pubescent: lvs. triangular-ovate or ovate, 2-3 1/2 in. long, at the apex acute or short acuminate or even rounded, at base truncate villous-tomentose when young but becoming glabrous, glauceseent beneath, more or less triangular-lobed, coarsely serrate with abruptly acuminate teeth, the lowest pair of veins arising some distance above the base of the blade; petioles slender, soon becoming glabrous: fls. white or pink, 5-7 in umbel-like racemes, appear when lvs. are nearly full- grown, on slender glabrous pedicels 1 in. or so long; calyx-tube thinly villous outside, the lobes oblong lanceolate-acuminate and densely tomentose within; petals oval, rounded at top, more or less gradually narrowed into a claw; styles slightly shorter than the stamens: fr. flattened and concave at both ends, broader than long, not angled, yellow and waxy at maturity, fragrant. N. Y., and southward in the Appalachian region to N. C.; early-flowering. S.T.S. 2:157. This species is often confused with the following, but is easily distinguished by its distinctly lobed crataegus-like lvs. whitish on their under side.
