Pyrus fusca, Raf. (P. rivularis, Douglas. Malus rivularis, Roem.).
Shrub or small tree, sometimes 30-40 ft. tall, the young growths more
or less pubescent: lvs. ovate- lanceolate, acute or acuminate, very
sharply and strongly serrate, often 3-lobed or notched on the strong
shoots, pubescent beneath: fls. white, on slender pubescent pedicels,
appearing when the lvs. are nearly or quite full grown, nearly or fully
1 in. across: fr. oblong, 3/4in. or less long, yellow or greenish, the
calyx-lobes caducous. N. Calif, to Alaska. S.S. 4:170.—According to
Sargent, P. fusca "grows usually in deep, rich soil in the neighborhood
of streams, often forming almost impenetrable thickets of considerable
extent, and attains its greatest size in the valleys of Washington and
Oregon." The fr. is eaten by Indians. Var. levipes, comb. nov. (Malus
fusca var. levipes, Schneid. M. rivularis var. levipes, Koehne. Pyrus
rivularis var. levipes, Nutt.), has glabrous infl. and outer surface of
calyx. Var. diversifolia, comb. nov. (Pyrus diversi- folia, Bong. Malus
fusca var. diversifolia, Schneid. M. rivularis var. diversifolia,
Koehne), has white- tomentose infl. and outer surface of calyx. Malus
Dawsoniana, Rehd., is a supposed hybrid of P. fusca and P. Malus raised
at the Arnold Arboretum and named for Jackson Dawson. In habit it is
like P. fusca, but the lvs. are usually broader and more oval, more
crenately serrate and rarely lobed: fls. and frs. nearly twice as
large, the calyx persistent. S.T.S. 2:91.
