--><p><i>Crataegus nitida</i> is found from southern Illinois to eastern Arkansas along the Mississippi River flood plain; it appears to be rare. The species differs only slightly from <i>C. viridis </i>var.<i> viridis</i>, mainly in the larger fruit, more pronounced leaf marginal teeth, and more coriaceous mature leaves. Horticultural plants labeled <i>C. nitida</i> are usually a <i>C. crus-galli</i> × <i>C. viridis</i> cross.</p>
