I can only share what is within COTONEASTERS by Fryer & Hylmo.
Inevitably, there will be differences of taxonomic opinion/treatment. My
presentunderstanding is that Fryer & Hylmo have the most expertise. I cannot
judge, not beinga Cotoneaster specialist (though have field experience of quite
a number of species) nortaxonomist how reliable Fryer's research is.
According to the book, Cotoneaster integerrimus Medikus is found in Central
Europe andbelongs to Series Cotoneaster. A collection was made in Slovakia in
1990.
The only synonym given for C.humilis Dunn is C.gilgitensis G.Klotz - it belongs
to Section Acuminati.

Thanks, Chadwell ji.I don't know if it's correct or not, Catalogue of Life
gives it as a syn. of Cotoneaster integerrimus Medik., while as per The Plant
List Ver. 1.1, it is unresolved.May be you can better clarify.

Dear Mr Garg
Here with my first (of many) offerings of Cotoneaster and my first posting of
my own images.
Hope members will not be too overwhelmed by the 11 images etc. but hopefully
this will inspirethe serious photographers amongst them to get snapping more
images from 2017 onwards andrecognise the value of additional images covering
habitat, habit and close-ups. Would be good to haveimages of the flowers
added.
A ruler in some of the images is useful for many genera including Cotoneaster
as exact dimensions can be of significancetaxonomically - a ruler would have
helped with the images of the Delphinium we are currently looking at.
Not all rulers will come out well on photos (this was 'borrowed' from my
youngest son) and it is easy to leavethem behind in the field, so carry a
couple of spares during each trip (cannot always purchase replacements when
inremote valleys).
My entry to accompanying the images attached below is as follows:
Cotoneaster humilis Dunn. (syn. C.gilgitensis G. Klotz) recorded from Pakistan,
Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The type specimen was collected by
Dr R Stewart from near Sonamarg in 1921 - the holotype is at Kew; whilst the
isotype is at Dehra Dun.
Stewart (1972) recorded this from Sonamarg & Pahlgam plus the ascent from
Deosai to Burzil in Pakistan @ 3-4000m.
This is not currently an accepted name in 'The Plant List' but Fryer & Hylmo
are revising the genus.
The images were taken by myself in October in the lower Miyah Nullah, Lahoul,
Himachal Pradesh.

Dear Mr Garg
As I have begun the major task of improving the accuracy, reliability &
coverage of Cotoneasterson your site and it is likely to be some weeks (at the
very least) before Jeanette Fryer will be able torespond as to the
determinations of images I shall be sending on a CD, might I encourage
thingsfurther by sending some images of species she has already named? This
may get others to sendin (and in future years, take more photos of this
neglected genus).
Must emphasise that one needs to examine Cotoneasters carefully as on 2 or 3
occasions there have been2 different species growing amongst each other!
I was sent a few images of 2 species by the late Krishan Lal which she named as
C.duthieanus andC.ludlowii he had photographed in HP - the first he thought was
C.acuminatus.
I am sure Krishan would be happy for them to be utilised on your site but does
it seem appropriate to contacthis family to get formal permission or not
necessary? Krishan sent quite a lot of images to me, some of othergenera may
well be worth sending for use in the future.
I also have images available of several species from HP and Nepal - most of
which you do not have. There arequite a number of species in the genus. Some
of my images I will need to search for.
