Pyrus halliana, Voss (Malus Halliana, Koehne). Fig. 3289. Bush or <br />
small tree, 6-15 ft. tall, with a loose open crown: lvs. long-ovate, <br />
glabrous, leathery, crenate- serrulate, the petioles short: fls. <br />
rose-colored, more or less polygamous, hanging on slender reddish <br />
pedicels, the calyx-lobes often more or less obtuse, the styles usually <br />
4: fr. size of a pea or somewhat larger (1/4-1/3in. diam.), abruptly <br />
contracted into a thickened pedicel, brownish red, ripening late in <br />
autumn and containing very large seeds. W. China; cult, in Japan. <br />
M.D.G. 1899:457. One of the handsomest of the flowering apples. Var. <br />
Parkmanii, Bailey (P. Parkmanii, Hort.), is the double-fld. form: named <br />
for Francis Parkman, the historian, in whose garden near Boston it was <br />
first grown in this country. Malus Hartwigii, Hort., is a hybrid of <br />
German origin, between P. Halliana and P. baccata.—P. Halliana is a <br />
beautiful little tree which was recognized among horticulturists before <br />
it was described by botanists. The first naming of it in Pyrus in such <br />
a way as to gain nomencla- torial standing with botanists seems to have <br />
been by Voss in Vilmorin's Blumengartnerei, 3d ed., 1896. Rehder <br />
distinguishes the species as follows (in Sargent, ;'Trees and Shrubs," <br />
1:35, from which also Fig. 3289 is reduced): It is allied to P. <br />
baccata, and P. pulcherrima; from the first it is distinguished by the <br />
leathery lvs., the color of the fls., the much shorter sepals, the <br />
purple calyx and pedicels, and the 4- or 5-celfed very late-ripening <br />
fr.; from P. pulcherrima it is distinguished by the convolute vernation <br />
of the glabrous lvs., the color of the larger fls., the shorter sepals, <br />
and the glabrous purple pedicels and calyx. In foliage and fls. it much <br />
resembles P. resembles P.spectabilis, which, however, differs by its <br />
pubescence and the much larger fr. crowned by the persistent calyx. <br />
From other species it differs in its polygamous fls. There is at least <br />
1 staminate fl. in each umbel, and this is always terminal; sometimes <br />
there are 2 or 3, but the number of staminate fls. rarely exceeds that <br />
of the perfect ones. In the staminate fls. there is no trace of reduced <br />
pistils. The species was intro. to American gardens about 1863 by G. R. <br />
Hall (see p. 1578, Vol. III).<br />
