Abstract
A checklist of the economically and ecologically important subfamily Maloideae (Rosaceae) is presented. One thousand one hundred and ten species are recognised in 23 genera, as well as 33 species in 13 intergeneric hybrid genera. An alphabetic arrangement is used within each taxonomic rank. The larger genera are subdivided into infrageneric groupings to represent structure. Several new infrageneric taxa were created to reconcile different sources. This checklist is believed to be complete to 1986 and represents the compilation and synthesis of over 170 publications. The following new names are published: Crataegus series Henryanae Phipps, ser.nov. et stat.nov.; Crataegus section Hupehensis Phipps, sect.nov.; Crataegus series Hupehenses Phipps, ser.nov.; Crataegus section Lacrimatae Phipps, sect, et stat.nov.; Malacomeles paniculata (Rehder) Phipps, comb.nov.; Sorbus subgen. Micromeles (Decne.) Phipps, Robertson & Spongberg, subgen. et stat.nov.; Sorbus section Albo-carmesini H.A. McAllister, sect.nov.
