J&K, Srinagar, April 2023 :: Crataegus monogyna for confirmation :: ARK2023-045

[Alka Khare]

Hello friends

This was seen on the Shankaracharya hill in Srinagar, J&K in April 2023.

Guessing it to be Crataegus monogyna based on eFI pics.

Requested to please confirm.

Thanks and regards

Looks good . Cultivated?  Has it got spines ?

Thank you.

Please check Crataegus songarica

We have C.songarica in kashmir

[Gurcharan Singh]

Both Crataegus monogyna and Crataegus songorica occur in Kashmir. The crucial difference is number of styles and seeds in fruit, single style and single seed in dark red pome  in C. monogyna, 2-3 styles and pyrenes 2-3, reddish-black in C. songarica.

Looking at cropped image of flowers in which style is visible, I can count only one style, suggesting C. monogyna only..
