Flowers 1⁄4 in. wide, white, with rose-coloured anthers, produced towards the end of July in hemispherical corymbs 11⁄2 to 21⁄2 in. across; flower-stalks and calyx covered with grey wool; petals round; calyx-lobes triangular-acuminate. Fruit pear-shaped, 1⁄4 in. long, deep red, downy, ripe in October. Bot. Mag., t. 8546.
Native of China; introduced to Kew in 1910 from de Vilmorin’s collection at Les Barres. It is apparently perfectly hardy, and of rapid growth, remarkable and valuable among cotoneasters in flowering so late – six or eight weeks later than the majority, and a month later than any.
