NORTHWESTERN SERVICE TREE —Amelanchier florida Lindley Amelanchier Gormani Greene. Amelanchier Cusickii Fernald The Northwestern Juneberry occurs along streams and lakes and on hillsides from Alaska to Washington, Montana, and California, sometimes becoming 7 meters high, with a trunk 2 to dm. in diameter; it is usually smaller, however, and often a shrub. It has been confused with Amelanchier alnijolia by most authors, but is regarded as distinct from that species by re- cent students of our northwest- em flora. Its bark is thin, brown, nearly smooth. The young twigs vary from smooth to loosely hairy; the winter buds are about. 5 mm. long, either smooth or with somewhat hairy scales. The leaves are thin, rather bright green, either smooth or hairy when young, always nearly or quite smooth when mature; they are mostly elliptic or ovate-oblong, varying to obovate, sometimes twice as long as wide, 3 to 6 cm. long, obtuse at the apex, rounded, slightly cordate, or sometimes narrowed at the base, rather coarsely toothed above the middle, sometimes toothed to about two thirds of the way toward the base; their stalks are smooth or hairy, usually less than half as long as the blades. The racemes of flowers are short and rather dense. The blue-black often glaucous fruit is larger than that of the other species, sometimes 2 cm. in diameter, and is much collected for Fig. 388. — Northwestern Service Tree. V.
