  Hawthorn \Haw"thorn`\ (h[add]"th[^o]rn`), n. [AS.
     haga[thorn]orn, h[ae]g[thorn]orn. See {Haw} a hedge, and
     {Thorn}.] (Bot.)
     A thorny shrub or tree (the {Crat[ae]gus oxyacantha}), having
     deeply lobed, shining leaves, small, roselike, fragrant
     flowers, and a fruit called {haw}. It is much used in Europe


     for hedges, and for standards in gardens. The American
     hawthorn is {Crat[ae]gus cordata}, which has the leaves but
     little lobed.
     [1913 Webster]

           To shepherds?                            --Shak.
