Cotoneaster simonsii
Cotoneaster symondsii is sometimes treated as a synonym of Cotoneaster simonsii. However, Cotoneaster symondsii is now regarded as a synonym of Cotoneaster marginatus (Lindl. ex Loudon) Schltdl. This species is distinguished from Cotoneaster simonsii by its tougher, somewhat revolute leaves that are tomentose on the lower surface, and flowers with spreading white petals.
