| notes: | "I agree. the size of the leaves, their serratures, the dense pubescence along th midrib beneath, the size of th epetals, and the pubescent peduncles, often in pairs, make this typical P. insititia." - J Fraser "Yes, the pubescence on the peduncle is evident, and the velvetyclothing on the shoots of 1922 is persistent. The anthers were apparently pure yellow. I would suggest for observation the colour of the anthers in the three species (If they are really seperable). So far as my present observation goes, those of P. spinosa and P. domestica are more or less tinged with orange-red. Is spinosity of real value as a distinctive character? In Pyrus Malus it is only a growth condition. Large old bushes of P. spinosa can be practically spinelss, at least above, or they can be extremely spinose." - J. E. Little. "I believe so." - C. E. Salmon. |
