|discussion=<p>As noted by C. Kalkman (1973), Lindley cited <i>Crataegus</i> glabra as a synonym of his proposed new species <i>Photinia</i> serrulata. The concept of <i>P. serrulata</i> by Lindley was not the same as that of <i>C. glabra</i> by Thunberg, and <i>P. serrulata</i> Lindley has persisted as a name in use for <i>P. serratifolia</i>. In any case, the publication of <i>P. serrulata</i> was superfluous and illegitimate.</p><!--
--><p><i>Photinia</i> ×fraseri Dress, or 'red tip,' is a popular hybrid cultivar between <i>P. glabra</i> and <i>P. serrulata</i>, valued especially for its brilliant burgundy red young leaves, which mature to green over weeks through shades of copper red. Shrubs are 3–4(–4.5) m; leaf blades elliptic to oblong-obovate or elliptic-obovate, 7–12 × 3–4(–4.5) cm, basally cuneate, with petioles 1–1.5(–2.3) cm. The leaves are smaller than those of <i>P. serratifolia</i> but tend to be longer and slightly narrower, with sharper teeth, than those of <i>P. glabra</i>. Apparently, fruit set is very low and the plants have not been recorded as escaping cultivation. In Texas, P. ×fraseri produces an abundant flush of new leaves in late October through November, when neither of the parents is doing so.</p>
