|discussion=<p><i>Cotoneaster cochleatus</i> was treated as a variety of <i>C. microphyllus</i> by L. Lingdi and A. R. Brach (2003); here the two are distinguished at species rank, following H. Nybom et al. (2005). Plants of <i>C. microphyllus</i> have a suberect habit, usually elliptic leaves (rarely broadly obovate) with acute apices, and pomes 6 mm wide; <i>C. cochleatus</i> is always prostrate and has usually obovate leaves (rarely suborbiculate) with blunt apices, and pomes 8–10 mm wide.</p>
