Crataegus orientalis, known as oriental hawthorn,[2] is a species of hawthorn native to the Mediterranean region, Turkey, Caucasia, Crimea, and western Iran, with fruits that are orange or various shades of red.[1]
This species is highly variable. Knud Ib Christensen in his monograph[1] divides it into four subspecies:
- C. orientalis subsp. orientalis
- C. orientalis subsp. pojarkovae (Kossych) Byatt has orange fruit.[1]
- C. orientalis subsp. presliana K.I.Chr.
- C. orientalis subsp. szovitsii (Pojarkova) K.I.Chr.
