4 images of C.encavei J.Fryer & B.Hylmo sp. nov. taken at 3500m in Khumbu Himal, Nepal for Chris Chadwell.
Unfortunately, the camera lens had cracked – hence the blurred part at centre of images.
TYPE specimen from Kanchenjunga region, Nepal collected by Kew/ Edinburgh Kanchenchunga Expedition in 1989; holotype at Edinburgh.
Recorded from Nepal and Sikkim.

Cotoneaster …???

Cotoneaster species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net)

To me appears close to images at Cotoneaster encavei J.Fryer & B.Hylmö

Did not find listing in Nepal.

Lot must have changed since J. Fryer’s book.
