Crataego-mespilus. This name has been bestowed on a graft hybrid between Crataegus monogyna and Mespilus germanica, discovered in 1894 in the garden of M. Dardar at Bronvaux near Metz, Germany. Like Laburnum Adamii, which is probably the best known of the graft hybrids, it produces at the same time branches intermediate in their characters between the parents and branches resembling more or less closely the parent plants. Two distinct forms produced on different branches of the , .. . ; Tpe have been prop, and distributed under '. in . .^ < :)drdari and C. Asnieresii. The first form :.- Simon Louis), has the lvs. and the frs. vc .. *<>: hose of the medlar, but the branches are '.., t i'.- appear in corymbs, are distinctly pedice'- i .. .

G.C. III. 50:183. 185. Gn. 75, p. 310. M.D.G. 1912:100.—While C. Dardari is botanically more interesting, C. Asnieresii is more ornamental and forms a handsome small tree with gracefully arching branches studded with numerous fl.-clusters. It is prop, by budding or grafting like the horticultural varieties of Crataegus. Alfred Rehder. CH
