This is another genus that has been poorly studied. I sent by CD the images of Cotoneasters posted on eFI to Jeanette Fryer in UK. She does not use e-mail. I expected it would take weeks if not months before a response - she always has a back-log of specimens and photos to identify. WHEN these arrive then we can begin to improve the reference examples on this site. I will store your images from Kuri and accumulate more THEN, IF she is willing to name other photos, will send on another CD.
In the mean-time, no point in speculating as to the identity of this. It seems you had a water droplet or similar on the lens - a common problem when photographing under wet conditions. According to Fryer & Hylmo in 'Cotoneasters' (2009) state that in its strictest sense, this species has ONLY been recorded from Nepal. The type specimen was from the alpine zone of Gosainkund collected FOR not BY Wallich in 1821 (Wallich himself was not permitted beyond the Kathmandu Valley). As with the previous Cotoneaster you have just posted, I shall store the images to make available to send within a future CD for Jeanette Fryer once those already have been identified by her. We must all be patient.
