Discussion

Of conservation concern.

Variety magnifolia, a local variant from Jasper County in southern Missouri, not seen for many years, is distinct for its remarkable leaf shape and cream anthers. It would be more consistent with the logic of this treatment to place var. magnifolia with Crataegus cognata, but the combination has not been made.
