Description
Tree, 10‒15 m high; branches terete, densely pubescent when young, glabrescent. Leaves petiolate, petiole 1.8‒4.1 cm long, puberulous. Lamina ca 5.8 × 3.3 cm, oval to ovate, base cuneate, apex retuse to caudate, margin crenate to serrulate, blade abaxially puberulous or glabrescent. Inflorescence umbellate, with 3‒6 flowers. Pedicel 1.4‒4.8 cm long, usually puberulous. Hypanthium glabrous or puberulous. Sepals lanceolate, abaxially glabrous, adaxially puberulous, caducous. Petals ca 1.2 × 6.7 cm, white, obovate. Stamens 15‒20, unequal. Styles 4 or 5, longer than stamens, glabrous. Pome ca 0.7× 0.6 cm, subglobose, red. Carpopodium ca 3.3 cm long, majority puberulous.
Phenology
Flowers from May to June. Mature fruits from August to September.
Habitat
Terrestrial, seasonally green, growing in mixed forest on slopes, mountain summits and in valleys; 100‒2000 m a.s.l.
Distribution
China (Anhui, Beijing, Chongqing, Gansu, Guangdong, Guizhou, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Nei Mongol, Qinghai, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang), Japan (Nagano, Shinano), North Korea, South Korea, and Russia (Fig. 9).
Chromosome number
2n = 34.
Note
The Latin word ‘manshurica’ is used by some herbaria, but we unified it to ‘mandshurica’ according to the priority principle (i.e., Malus baccata var. mandshurica = Malus mandshurica = Malus manshurica). In addition, the lectotype designated by Langenfeld (1991: 158) (RUSSIA • Novik Bay on the Russian island, near Vladivostok; 25 May and 28 Aug. 1860; fl, fr; Maximowicz s.n.; lectotype: LE) is invalid, so we designated a new one here on the basis of Maximowicz’s record.
