Dear Dr Goraya
Of course it is much quicker and easier to say which species a specimen is not
rather than what it is.Cotoneaster certainly presents challenges. As
mentioned it may take some time before I hear back fromJeanette as she
invariably has a back-log of material to check.
Do you have a approximate location and altitude for where this plant was
photographed? Also, anyadditional photos would be most helpful.
There is a long and fine tradition of Forestry Officers taking an interest in
the flora of Indian Himalaya.
I have got to know a grandson of B.O.Coventry, a Conservator of Forests in NW
Himalaya during the British days,who produced 'Wild Flowers of Kashmir'.
Best Wishes,

I would be eagerly looking forward to the correct identity of the species in
photograph.

This is not Cotoneaster falconeri..
I am beginning a check on Cotoneasters posted on this site. Unfortunately, I
suspect a majority are misidentified. Will be sending available images to
Jeanette Fryer (on a CD she does not use e-mail). She was co-author with the
late Bertil Hylmo of 'Cotoneasters' (2009) - the most knowledgeable person on
the genus. She is always busy with other identification tasks so will
certainly take weeks perhaps months before we hear but worth the wait. I hope
her determinations (accurate identifications) will encourage members to take a
greater interest in this neglected genus, photographing more species. There
is every possibility of locating species new to science within this genus. It
makes sense, when those with specialist knowledge are available to name
material to take full advantage. The present situation with the naming of
Cotoneaters in Indian herbaria is in need of improvement. Many specimens are
very old and/or in poor condition, of a scrappy nature in the first place.
