Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Trees of New York State: Native and Naturalized
In some cases the author has been in doubt as to just where to draw the line. The treatment throughout must be considered conservative.
There are within the borders Of the state one hundred and thirty-three kinds Of trees exclusive Of Crataegus. Of these one hundred and nine may be considered as native and twenty-four as naturalized. Over two hundred species Of Crataegus have been described for New York State alone but these exhibit such a multitude Of bewildering forms as to be beyond the scope Of the bulletin. The inclusion Of Crataegus brings the total number Of native arborescent species well over three hundred and ranks New York State as one Of the richest in the Union in its arborescent ?ora. N O attempt has been made to include the shrubby plants Of the state in this publication.
