Respected Chris Chadwell ji As far as various Floras of H.P. are concerned, C.marginatus Lindley ex Loudon is new species for the Flora of H.P.
This season, I'll try to collect more information on this genus from H.P. But, it will be difficult for me to differentiate between different species, unless I have some of their differentiating features. Kindly give some extracts or keys to the Cotoneaster species from NW Himalaya.
