Crataegus Laevigata Subsp. Carnoviensis

Crataegus laevigata subsp. carnoviensis is a rare and distinctive subspecies of hawthorn native to specific regions of Europe. It is characterized by its slender branches, smooth bark, and clusters of small white flowers in spring. This plant thrives in moist, shaded environments and is often found in woodlands and along stream banks. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, it is considered vulnerable and requires conservation efforts. Its ecological importance makes it a valuable subject for botanical study and environmental protection.
