Taxonomy
The species is named after David Douglas, who collected seed from the plant during his botanical explorations.[2]
Formerly placed within the species, Crataegus douglasii var. duchesnensis is now considered to be a synonym of Crataegus saligna.
Distribution
The thorny shrub is native to northern and western North America, where it grows in varied habitats from forest to scrubland. It is most abundant in the Pacific Northwest.
Ecology
The foliage is browsed by cattle and sheep. Various birds, including quail, the Hungarian partridge, and ring-necked pheasant feed on the berries,[2][3] as do bears and other animals.[1] Magpies nest in the branches.[1] The species is a larval host to the gray hairstreak, mourning cloak, pale tiger swallowtail, and western tiger swallowtail.[4]
Uses
The fruits were a good food source for Native American peoples such as the Cheyenne and Nlaka'pamux.Шаблон:Citation needed
