Very near Cotoneastcr disticJia Laxge (ScHNEiDer Haudb. Ijaul)holzk. I. ]>. 

 745, fig. 418 c-f u. 419, ii-]^,= Cotonenster rotundifolia Bakeu in Bot. Mag. t. 

 8010), but easily distinguishable from it by the much smaller fruits. AIso 

 near C. Zabcli (Schneider l.c. I. p. 749, fig. 420 f-h), but seiiarable from it 

 also liy thc much smaller fruits. Most closely allied to Cotoneaster morriso- 

 nensis Hayata, but difl:erent from it in having three carpels and not lenticel- 

 late branches and in the leaves which are a little larger aud much darker above 

 in dried specimcus. In C. morrisonensis, the carjiels are nsually two, and the 

 branches arc more or less lenticellate.
