Discussion
Crataegus ×atrorubens is probably a hybrid of C. viridis × C. mollis, originating near St. Louis. The C. viridis parentage is apparent in the axillary tufts of hairs on the abaxial leaf surfaces and in the occasional presence of eglandular bracteoles; the C. mollis parentage is apparent in leaf size and shape. This handsome tree is much favored by arboreta; a quite different C. crus-galli hybrid is often misidentified as it.
