This species is nearest to Pyrus ussuricnsis and the above pear, but 

 differs from the former by having shorter caudate serration, more 

 tapering leaves and greenish fruits, and from the latter by having 

 smaller glabrous leaves, smaller serration, shorter pedicells and very 

 small stone-cells. What we have observed are tall trees with their 

 trunks more than two feet in girth.

No Asiatic species are there resembling to this. Its fruits are 

 Huropa.-an pear-like and have neither big stone-cells nor acidity. The 

 shoots are greenish like ' Lc Conte ', but have rusty hairs. The leaves 

 arc very remarkable in their form as well as their serration. We can 

 riot trace where it is really growing wild or fn>in what ancestor did it 

 evolved ; but it is cultivated in Yamagata prefecture since several 



hundred years.
