Plz validate the ID of\u00a0prostrate shrub<\/span>\u00a0as\u00a0Cotoneaster microphyllus<\/em><\/div>\n

Yes dear \u2026 I had photographed it in flower.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

I am beginning a check on\u00a0Cotoneasters<\/em>\u00a0posted on this site.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I suspect a majority are misidentified. In this case, it is not a\u00a0Cotoneaster<\/em>\u00a0but a\u00a0Lonicera<\/em>\u00a0which I will endeavour to name at some point.<\/p>\n

Will be sending available images of true\u00a0Cotoneasters\u00a0to Jeanette Fryer (on a CD she does not use e-mail).\u00a0 She was co-author with the late Bertil Hylmo of \u2018Cotoneasters\u2018 (2009) \u2013 the most knowledgeable person on the genus.\u00a0 She is always busy with other identification tasks so will certainly take weeks perhaps months before we hear but worth the wait.<\/div>\n
Please note her comments: \u201cKlotz included within C.microphyllus a number of taxa from a wide\u00a0area ranging from W.Himalaya, Kumaon, through to eastern Tibet and the provinces of Yunnan & Sichuan but in its strictest sense C.microphyllus has only been recorded from Nepal.\u00a0 More research is desperately needed.<\/i>\u201c<\/div>\n
I hope her determinations (accurate identifications) will encourage\u00a0<\/i>members to take a greater interest in this neglected genus, photographing more species.\u00a0\u00a0 There is every possibility of locating species new to science within this genus.<\/div>\n
\n

It makes sense, when those with specialist knowledge are available to name material to take full advantage.\u00a0 The present situation with the naming of Cotoneaters in Indian herbaria is in need of improvement.\u00a0 Many specimens are very old and\/or in poor condition, of a scrappy nature in the first place. \u201c<\/p>\n

\n

Seems closer to\u00a0Lonicera<\/em>\u00a0sp. (Caprifoliaceae<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lonicera microphylla<\/em>\u00a0Willd. ex Roem. & Schult. ??<\/p>\n

\n

Yes,\u00a0\u00a0Lonicera microphylla\u00a0Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.\u00a0is possible as per description\u00a0in\u00a0Flora of Pakistan<\/a>\u00a0and specimens in\u00a0GBIF<\/a>–\u00a0specimen 1<\/a>,\u00a0specimen 2<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0specimen\u00a03<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Lonicera<\/em> sp.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can be\u00a0Lonicera obovata<\/em>\u2026.- from \u2026- in a thread without any subject.<\/div>\n
Am I right \u2026?<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Yes \u2026<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
I also agree\u00a0with \u2026 as\u00a0the closest match is\u00a0Lonicera obovata<\/em>\u00a0Royle ex Hook. f. & Thomson<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as per comparative images at\u00a0\u200e<\/em>Lonicera<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
But\u00a0Flora of Pakistan<\/span><\/a>\u00a0says berries are bluish black as also seen at\u00a0Lonicera obovata<\/em>\u00a0Royle ex Hook. f. & Thomson<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
Another close species available in efi site is\u00a0Lonicera semenovii<\/em>\u00a0Regel<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from Ladakh, which\u00a0Flora of Pakistan<\/span><\/a>\u00a0say as A dwarf, erect, densely branched glabrous (subglabrous) shrub. But I do not know if it is found in the Valley of Flowers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Lonicera obovata (berries bluish black) and L. microphylla (berries red) are very closely related species of Alpine Himalayas, both have similar leaves.<\/div>\n
On that count it should be L. microphylla<\/em>.<\/p>\n
