--><p>Plants of <i>Cotoneaster</i> acutifolius of China and Mongolia are seldom seen in cultivation. Reports of it naturalized in North America are here referred to the commonly cultivated <i>C. lucidus</i>, which tolerates continental winters. No specimens have been seen to support reports of the latter from Montana and Oregon. Some reports of <i>C. melanocarpus</i> from Alberta and Manitoba (H. J. Scoggan 1978–1979, part 3) are here referred to <i>C. lucidus</i>.</p>
