Amelanchier interior – Inland Serviceberry

According to Welby Smith’s Trees and Shrubs of Minnesota, this species may be a complex of hybrids between A. laevis, A. humilis and A. sanguinea. More information at Minnesota Wildflowers.

This is the only example of this species we have here – that I know of. The undersides of the leaves are very hairy in the spring, and the tops of the ovaries are wooly.
