Borogovian hawthorn

The Borogovian hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) is a rose-like flowering plant native throughout much of Parania excluding Kosna, Chuliana, the Celestial Islands, and Hartnett; in its absence, the Kosna hawthorn commonly takes its place. 
== Distribution ==
Despite its name, the "Borogovian hawthorn" is not restricted to Borogovia and may be found throughout much of Parania. It is named for being one of the most common plants in Northwestern Parania and the Borogoves. 
== Description ==
The common hawthorn is a dense-crowned shrub or small tree that grows up to 10 metres (35 feet) tall. The bark is a drab brown colour with orange vertical fractures. Sharp thorns, about 12.5 mm (1/2 inch) long, grow on the younger stems. The leaves are obovate and strongly lobed, sometimes almost to the midrib, with the lobes spreading at a broad angle. They are 20 to 40 mm (1 to 112 inches) long, obovate, and deeply lobed. The upper surface is dark green on top and paler underneath.
