I am starting to look at the images of Cotoneaster on this site. My expectation is that a majority will be misidentified. I am planning to send images on a CD to Jeanette Fryer (author with the late Bertil Hylmo) the most knowledgeable person on this genus. She does not operate by e-mail. She is busy and it will surely take weeks, if not months before she can devote the time but it will be worth the wait. *Please note that Fryer states that Klotz included within C.microphyllus a number of taxa from a wide area ranging from the Western Himalaya, Kumaon to eastern Tibet and the provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan but C.microphyllus in its strictest sense has only been recorded from Nepal! More research is desperately needed......*
*PLEASE NOTE THAT TWO OF THE THREE IMAGES photographed by Ritesh are of a Lonicera not Cotoneaster - the 3rd & 5th (4.jpg and 1jpg.). The glossy, succulent berries are clearly nothing like Cotoneaster fruits. I shall name this Lonicera in due course.* On Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 3:05:12 AM UTC+1, Ritesh Kumar Choudhary wrote: > Dear all, > > Cotoneaster microphyllus Wall. ex Lindl. for you. > > Loc.: On way to Churdhar, Himachal Pradesh (ca 1500m) > > Date: 10th August, 2010. > > Regards, > Ritesh. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
