Cotoneaster tenuipes
Cotoneaster tenuipes, also known as slender cotoneaster or xi zhi xun zi in Chinese, is an extremely graceful deciduous shrub that grows up to 2 meters tall. It is endemic to the temperate regions of China and was named and described by botanists Alfred Rehder and E.H.Wilson in 1912. The branches are slender, cylindrical, and tapering, initially grayish-yellow and later changing to brownish-red. The leaves are typically 2-2.5 cm long, and 1.5–2 cm wide, ranging in shape from ovate to narrowly elliptic-ovate with a green upper surface and grayish underside covered in woolly hairs. The flowers are white, about 7 mm in diameter, and bloom from May to June.
