Note
This comes very close to some variants of Cotoneaster watereri(x) that are closer to Cotoneaster salicifolius than to Cotoneaster frigidus, and might be involved in its parentage. Considerable experience is necessary for certain determination and experimental work with wild-collected material is needed to clarify relationships in this group.
