Raphiolepis indica, Lindl. (R. rubra, Lindl. Crataegus índica, Linn.). Indian Hawthorn. Shrub, to 5 ft., with slender spreading branches: lvs. obovate to oblong- lanceolate, acute or acuminate, gradually narrowed at the base, serrate, glabrous or slightly pubescent when unfolding, 1 1/2-2 1/2 in. long: fls. white or pinkish, about 1/2in. across, in glabrous or somewhat tomentose, rather loose panicles; sepals lanceolate, acute, usually red like the filaments; petals acute: fr. 1/4-1/3 in. across. May, June. S. China. B.M. 1726. B.R. 1468; 1400 (as R. rubra). L.D. 4:247 (as Crataegus sinensis). — A very variable species; several forms have been described as distinct species, as R. Phaeostemon, R. rubra and R. salicifolia, Lindl. The last named, which is var. salicifolia, Nichols., is the most ornamental: lvs. oblong-lanceolate, acuminate: panicles rather large and many-fld.; stamens white or purplish, shorter than sepals. B.R. 652. R.H. 1874:270. Gn. 9:596.— A hybrid between R. indica and the preceding species is R. Delacourii, Andre, forming a compact shrub with rather large panicles of blushed fls. and the foliage intermediate between the two parents. R.H. 1900:698.
