New Record of Malus baccata var. mandshurica (Rosaceae) from Northern Tohoku Region Seashores, Japan

Abstract

Two small populations of Malus baccata (L.) Borkh. var. mandshurica (Borkh.) C. K. Schneid. (Rosaceae) were discovered by the seashore in the northern Tohoku region of Japan. These discoveries confirm that the species also grows in the coastal areas of this region, as well as those of Hokkaido.
