Crataegus Marshallii
''Crataegus marshallii'' is a species of hawthorn known by the common name parsley hawthorn. It is native to the southeastern United States. The leaves of ''C. marshallii'' are finely dissected and decorative. The dainty flowers, small red fruit, and beautiful bark add to the ornamental value of this species. In 1803, Michaux published the name ''Crataegus apiifolia'' for this American species, but that name is considered illegitimate.

Willard Webster Eggleston
Willard Webster Eggleston (March 28, 1863 in Pittsfield, Vermont – November 25, 1935 in Washington, D.C.) was an American botanist, employed by the United States Department of Agriculture Bureau of Plant Industry. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1891 with a Bachelor of Science degree. In his work on the taxonomy of ''Crataegus'', now known to be complicated by apomixis, polyploidy Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than two paired sets of ( homologous) chromosomes. Most species whose cells have nuclei (eukaryotes) are diploid, meaning they have two complete sets of chromosomes, one fro ..., and hybridization, he aimed to simplify, counteracting the proliferation of species names that other botanists had produced.

Flora Of Northern America
Flora (: floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring ( indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is ''fauna'', and for fungi, it is '' funga''. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora as in the terms ''gut flora'' or ''skin flora'' for purposes of specificity. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) wa ...
