Crataegus rivularis is most abundant in intermontane Colorado and Utah and is one of two hawthorns found in Arizona; it is rare in Nevada. There are reports from northwestern Texas (for example, D. S. Correll and M. C. Johnston 1970); they have not been verified. Crataegus rivularis is one of the more common woody species of mesic, valley bottom intermontane habitats. The species flowers early. Crataegus rivularis is superficially similar to the more or less sympatric, less common, C. saligna; it has larger leaves with fewer veins, larger flowers with ten stamens, and larger pomes. It differs from C. erythropoda little other than in leaf shape and ripe fruit color. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Crataegus shuswapensis is locally common near Enderby in the northern Okanagan and southwestern Shuswap drainage. Flowering plants from Lake County, Montana, are indistinguishable; fruiting plants from these populations have not been collected. Crataegus shuswapensis is a distinctive member of ser. Douglasianae in the Okanagan because of its relatively long, stout thorns, large, wide, rhombic, and deeply and sharply incised leaf blades, pink, sometimes puce anthers, somewhat low style and pyrene numbers, and fairly large for the series, suborbicular to broadly ellipsoid purple fruit. Also, this species has a greater frequency of plane-sided pyrenes than has been noted in C. douglasii. Crataegus shuswapensis is unusual in the genus for its unstable stamen number; in its other characteristics, it is more uniform. The majority of specimens that have been assigned to this species have about ten stamens; these are not dissimilar to an extreme form of C. douglasii that is locally common in northwest Montana and has been noted occasionally elsewhere. This latter variant of C. shuswapensis may be a single apomictic race. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
