According to Jeanette Fryer whilst this is part of the MICROPHYLLI Section, it is NOT Cotoneaster microphyllus. It is *C.thymifolius Baker which is new to eFI.*
This species has been recorded from H.P. and Nepal. It is according to Fryer & Hylmo, a bit of a puzzle, previously thought to be a form of C.integrifolius, this appears more closely related to C.congestus. More study is needed into the relationship between these two diploid species. This lovely miniature is a real little treasure, very pretty at all times - in leaf, covered with its pinkish white flowers or when its bead-like fruit are sprinkled over its branches.
