|discussion=<p><i>Amelanchier amabilis</i> makes a conspicuous display with its relatively large flowers; in eastern North America, it resembles most closely <i>A. sanguinea</i>. Leaves with three or four teeth on distal cm of margin and largest teeth more than 1 mm are also useful for identification.</p><!--
--><p><i>Amelanchier amabilis</i> flowers at the same time as <i>A. humilis</i> and <i>A. sanguinea</i>. The authors have observed <i>A. amabilis</i> growing with <i>A. sanguinea</i> without the occurrence of putative hybrids; putative hybrids with <i>A. arborea</i> and <i>A. humilis</i> have been observed in the field.</p>
