Crataegus castlegarensis occurs from around the northern Okanagan, British Columbia, to the northern California Coast Ranges, to northwestern Montana, and the Rocky Mountains to northeast of Salt Lake City, Utah. The species occurs also in the Cypress Hills of Alberta and Saskatchewan; it is found in habitats similar to those of C. douglasii and is at least as abundant as that species in a number of parts of its range. Crataegus castlegarensis is readily recognized by a combination of hairy inflorescence branches, pomes more or less orbicular, crimson or burgundy (with irregular earlier ripening) around the third week of August, soon becoming purple, often when nearby C. douglasii is already black, as well as a tendency to possess thorns on the young twigs branched at the base to become double, triple, or even sometimes quadruple. Such multiple thorns, though sometimes abundant on a bush, are more often few and may require searching for. Inflorescence pubescence, as in other species with this characteristic, may become sparse by fruiting. Crataegus castlegarensis is most similar to C. douglasii; its fruit is usually more orbicular, even oblately so, than is normal in that species, sometimes even with a recessed junction to the pedicel like an apple.

The main range of Crataegus mira is the Florida panhandle to central Georgia, but it extends to the Carolinas and Alabama; the species is locally common. Crataegus mira is most similar to C. aprica, C. sororia, and especially C. leonensis, but differs from them in its wider and often larger leaves, thinner inflorescence indumentum (than C. sororia), and larger flower size. The illustration depicts an unusually formed sessile-glandular bracteole. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
