Distribution
Introduced; Europe, Asia (China, Japan).
Discussion
Species 4 (2 in the flora).
The flowering quinces are widely cultivated as ornamental shrubs for their attractive and abundant pink, red, or white flowers. Other species differ from those in the flora area in their entire leaf margins and tomentose leaves.
Selected References
