Crataegus Monogyna - Common Hawthorn? and Ferraria species #2

Crataegus Monogyna - Common Hawthorn?

Greetings,

I'd need to find something which deals with Crataegus Monogyna and in particular with its physiology and anatomy. In particular, I should know:

- the type of flowers, the number of petals, sepals, shape of flowers, if they're solitary flowers or inflorescences;
- something about the reproduction;
- something about the ovary position or other special features; something about the fruit;
- something about the typology of root;
- something related to the stem, its growth, how it is done (if it has got a secondary growth, sapwood, heartwood, cork...).

I've found several different things on the Internet but I've not fully answered to these 'questions'. Could you please help me?

Thanks in advance.
