Crataegus punctata is a species of hawthorn known by the common names dotted hawthorn[1][2] or white haw that is native to most of the eastern United States and eastern Canada. While some sources claim it is the state flower of Missouri,[3] the actual legislation does not identify an exact species.[4] Furthermore, the Missouri Department of Conservation asserts the Crataegus mollis was specifically designated as the state flower.[5]
