Crataegus apiifolia

Crataegus apiifolia is a name sometimes used for some species of hawthorns. In 1793 Medikus published the name C. apiifolia for a European hawthorn (now included in C. monogyna^[1]), but the name is illegitimate under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature^[2]. In 1803 Michaux published the same name for an American species, but that name is also illegitimate^[2], see C. marshallii.
