Entire-Leaf Cotoneaster is a low shrub, which is often
found spread over rocks in Himalayan region. It is closely related to
Rockspray Cotoneaster. Leaves
are small, obovate-oblong, with a rounded tip. This feature
distinguishes it from Rockspray
Cotoneaster which has elliptic leaves with pointed tips. Leaves are
dark green above, woolly beneath. Flowers are pink in bud, white later,
about 8 mm across, generally borne singly. Fruits are round red
berries, and the plant makes a spectacular display when in fruit.
Entire-Leaf Cotoneaster is found in the Himalayas, from Himachal
Pradesh to SW China, at altitudes of 1800-3500 m. Flowering: May-June.
