|discussion=<p><i>Crataegus fluviatilis</i> includes a range of intermediates between <i>C. flabellata</i> and <i>C. macrosperma</i>. There are three main forms. In the typical form, sporadic in Quebec and New England, the glandular-serration of the sepal margins is less pronounced and the inflorescence branches at anthesis are less densely hairy than in <i>C. flabellata</i>, but the leaves are more similar to those of <i>C. macrosperma</i>. They could represent rare hybrid derivatives of these two species. In the central Great Lakes region (Illinois to Ontario), more frequent forms occur attributable to C. apiomorpha, similar to sympatric <i>C. macrosperma</i>, differing mainly in their soft-hairy inflorescences. More complex variation occurs in Minnesota, where forms with densely pubescent inflorescences occur in local populations, often intermixed with otherwise identical <i>C. macrosperma</i> (glabrous inflorescences). Both the latter are notable for their serrate sepal margins, not the norm for <i>C. macrosperma</i>. Into the mix are identical forms with 20 stamens, which perhaps are C. asperata Sargent. This Minnesota complex is notable for smallish leaves (4–6 cm), is constant for characters other than those mentioned above, and suggests active introgression.</p><!--
--><p>Confusion between the Minnesota form of <i>Crataegus fluviatilis</i> and sympatric <i>C. chrysocarpa</i> might be possible; a helpful field character at anthesis is the pink anthers of the former; at other times, it is the flexible petioles that allow the leaves of <i>C. fluviatilis</i> to flutter in the wind, unlike those of <i>C. chrysocarpa</i>, which have stiffer petioles.</p>
