|discussion=<p><i>Crataegus douglasii</i> occurs from southern and western British Columbia to the panhandle of Alaska and ranges to northern California and the Rocky Mountains of Idaho, Montana, and southwestern Alberta. Disjunct populations occur farther east in the Cypress Hills (Alberta and Saskatchewan), the Montana montane islands, and around the northern Great Lakes. In western North America, <i>C. douglasii</i> is found mainly near water in drier areas; in more mesic regions, it may occur in open woodlands. In the Great Lakes area, it mainly occurs in old pastures and on fencerows.</p><!--
--><p><i>Crataegus douglasii</i> is distinguished from <i>C. gaylussacia</i> by having ten stamens and is rather variable in leaf shape and size. The species is distinguished from <i>C. okennonii</i> by the latter usually being taller and typically more erect as well as having a usually straight, single trunk, shorter thorns, ampulliform-orbicular fruit, and often purplish crimson fall foliage. <i>Crataegus castlegarensis</i> is the most similar species, and beyond possessing relatively few to many multiple thorns, it is distinguished from <i>C. douglasii</i> by its hairy hypanthia, pedicels, and, often, fruit, which is orbicular, plump, crimson to purple in late August, ripening to deep purple (sometimes black) at a time when sympatric <i>C. douglasii</i> is fully black.</p>
