SCIENTIFIC NAME: Crataegus ravenelii
COMMON NAME: Ravenel’s Hawthorn
SYNONYMY: [= X; = C. condigna Beadle - FNA; > C. condigna Beadle- FNA, Q, V; < C. flava Aiton - K, RAB, S; > C. adunca Beadle - Q; > C. clara Beadle - Q; > C. compitalis Beadle - Q; > C. pulla Beadle - Q; > C. ravenelii - Q]
PHENOLOGY: Apr; Aug-Sep.
HABITAT: Sandhills, upland pine and pine-oak forests, rocky woodlands, xeric or subxeric habitats with sandy or well-drained clay soils.
COMMENTS: Se. NC s. to n. FL, w. to central AL. Often reaching treelike proportions (4-8 m tall, trunk 10-30 cm diameter); leaves serrate-dentate, densely pubescent when young, becoming glabrate; inflorescenses tomentose. Similar to C. alabamensis Beadle, which is of a more restricted range. C. condigna Beadle is similar but bears smaller leaves and suggests introgression with another member of the Lacrimatae.
