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.) |
Crataegus ×latebrosa differs little from C. ×dispessa except in the lower stamen number (5–10) and wider range of style number (3–5). The only record of fruit color says orange-red; reports for C. ×dispessa uniformly declare crimson. The very narrow, caducous bracteoles and the leaf shape of C. ×latebrosa suggest a C. collina × ser. Molles ancestry. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
