The tree book : A popular guide to a knowledge of the trees of North America and to their uses and cultivation . in Europe and at home, known for two centuries,and named by Linnaeus, one of the proud old first familiesof the genus Crataegus. Cratcegus Mohri, Beadl., is a slender thorn tree, close of kinto the other cockspurs, as we recognise by its shining leaves,slender spines and thin-fleshed fruits, with nutlets deeply groovedon the back. It belongs to the group of cockspur thorns whoseflowers and fruits are borne on pubescent pedicels. There aretwenty stamens, with yellow anthers, set in three rows. This straight thorn tree has spreading and rather pendulouslimbs, and short, shiny, brown spines. Its range centres inAlabama, whence it extends into Georgia, Mississippi andTennessee. Its favourite situations are moist, level wood-lands. It promises to be for the South what C. Crus-galli is in theNortheastern States—a handsome, useful ornamental and hedgetree. II.
