Dear Dr Thakur
Could you give me the full reference for 'Flora of Himachal Pradesh' with
exactname, authors and year of publication?
There is still a long way to go in studying the Cotoneasters of the Himalaya.
I consider it acceptable to comment upon and use short extracts from
sourcessuch as floras but for copyright and other reasons, I am not in a
position to copy and send FULL descriptions of species from the Fryer & Hylmo
book.
Since we currently have access (through me) to the services of Jeanette
Fryer,the way forward is to take many more images of ALL Cotoneasters
encountered,so a comprehensive and reliable set of images is available on the
eFI data-base.
These can be sent for her to DETERMINE. Whilst we have access to someone with
specialistknowledge of the genus, then let us TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE. Rather
than spend (and probablywaste) time ATEMPTING to name material ourselves. As
you will realise, some specimens can be tough to name with confidence, even for
those with specialist knowledge.
Kindly follow my advice (see:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/vD9SHWdzVds)- being sure
to photograph sterile shoots as well, which is not an obvious thing to do.
Best Wishes,

Respred Chadwell ji
Thank you for all your efforts in bringing the real identity of my postings on
Cotoneaster species from H.P.
This species has not been recorded in the Flora of Himachal Pradesh, although,
Flora of Himachal Pradesh includes 24 species. It is quite possible that it
might have been mixed with C. microphallus and some similar looking species.
I don not have access to the scholarly work of Jennette on "Cotoneasters: A
Comprehensive Guide to Shrubs for Flowers, Fruit, and Foliage". So, I am not
able to differentiate between these three populations photographed at 3 three
different localities. I have one more photograph of this plant from lower
altitude as well. I'll try to post that one also when the time permits.
It will be very nice of you, if you could kindly post the species description
of my my postings as per new IDs. This will be useful for me as well as others
to identify these very difficult to identify plants.
Regards
Anil Thakur
