Pyrus calleryana

Frank N. Meyer

Pyrus calleryana. A fairly large specimen of a Calleryana pear, found growing brotherly together with a pine tree, Pinus massoniana. Very few trees find pine trees congenial mates, but this remarkable Calleryana pear occurs at times quite plentiful in open pine forests, on sterile mountain slopes. (Meyer.)

Neg. No. 13264, near Nan chang yen, Hupeh, China, March 31, 1917
