|discussion=<p><i>Crataegus aquacervensis</i> is widely distributed in the northern part of the Cypress Hills westward from the Adams Creek area and Fort Walsh. The species is superficially similar to the sympatric <i>C. rivuloadamensis</i> (ser. Montaninsulae) and <i>C. chrysocarpa</i> (ser. Rotundifoliae), differing from both by the more or less eroded lateral faces of the pyrenes and from the latter by the larger, more venous leaves, prominent fruiting calyx, and ripe fruit color.</p>
