|discussion=<p><i>Crataegus gattingeri</i> extends from Missouri to Pennsylvania south to Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia; it should be sought in southern Illinois and Indiana.</p><!--
--><p><i>Crataegus gattingeri</i> is similar to the variably hairy <i>C. pruinosa </i>var.<i> virella</i>, which has normal-sized anthers. Considerable similarity occurs between <i>C. compacta</i> and <i>C. gattingeri</i>; both may have stipitate-glandular bracteoles, the leaves and flowers are about the same size, and the thorn and twig colors are similar. In the latter species a greater range of leaf shape occurs, from narrowly ovate to practically deltate, and bases rounded to broadly cuneate. The lobes and apices of the leaves of <i>C. gattingeri</i> are usually much sharper. <i>Crataegus gattingeri</i> is also superficially similar to small-leaved forms of ser. Tenuifoliae such as <i>C. iracunda</i>, which also usually has particularly small leaves at anthesis. It differs from the latter primarily in its 20 stamens, small anthers, much less hairy adaxial leaf surfaces at anthesis, and more glandular-bracteolate inflorescences. These two may be difficult to differentiate in fruit. The author has not come across <i>C. gattingeri</i> <i></i></i>var.<i><i> rigida</i> E. J. Palmer, from Indiana and Kentucky, which apparently differs from the widespread type variety in its stouter and flexuous twigs, stouter thorns, and smaller flowers. It would not seem to be part of <i>C. gattingeri</i>. <i>Crataegus</i> arcana Beadle represents a somewhat similar form of possible conspecificity.</p>
