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).
