|discussion=<p>L. Lingdi and A. R. Brach (2003) included within <i>Cotoneaster horizontalis</i> several taxa recognized here as distinct species, including C. flinckii J. Fryer & B. Hylmö and C. perpusillus (C. K. Schneider) Flinck & B. Hylmö. Reports of <i>C. horizontalis</i> from Ontario (J. K. Morton and J. M. Venn 1990) are here referred to <i>C. divaricatus</i>. Reports of <i>C. horizontalis</i> from Indiana are not supported by specimens.</p>
