|discussion=<p><i>Crataegus erythropoda</i> is found mainly in Colorado westward from the foothills of the Front Range; it also extends north and south into adjacent states. N. H. Holmgren (1997b) recorded it from Arizona and Utah; no authenticating specimens have been encountered. The species is locally common and is early-flowering.</p><!--
--><p><i>Crataegus erythropoda</i> varies little; it has striking deep red to vinous fruit color and is usually easily recognized, although the black-fruited <i>C. rivularis</i> may also show a similar color when not fully ripe. Paucity of observed bracteoles may indicate they are very early caducous. The specific epithet alludes to the pedicels, which may turn red in the fall or under particularly dry conditions, which is neither constant in nor unique to <i>C. erythropoda</i>.</p>
