Woodland hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata). Also known as the midland hawthorn, English hawthorn, [ or mayflower, is a species of hawthorn native to western and central Europe, t is distinguished from the closely related common hawthorn, C. monogyna, in the leaves being only shallowly lobed, with forward-pointing lobes, and in the flowers having more than one style. Each style produces a seed, so its fruits also have more than one seed and these make them slightly oval, in contrast with the single-seeded and therefore round fruits of common hawthorn.
