It was good indeed that you posted different 'populations' separately as this is a different species as well.
According to Jeanette Fryer whilst this is part of the MICROPHYLLI Section, it is NOT Cotoneaster microphyllus. It is *C.marginatus Lindley ex Loudon which is also new to eFI.* This species has been recorded from H.P., Uttarakhand and Nepal. According to Fryer & Hylmo, it was introduced into cultivation in 1838. Often hybridizing with other diploid species, it can produce very variable off spring, some of which have previously been attributed to other species. It caused much confusion before its diploid nature was realised. C.marginatus is vigorous growing, often forming a dense mass of branches which project from the shrub in all directions. The abundant fruit are slow-ripening and hence are not taken by birds until well into winter.
