Original	Pyrus pyraster is often treated as a wild species with smaller, rounder, and more sour fruit, yet it seems likely that wild pears fitting this description have originated from cultivated stock referable to P. communis, just as self-sown apples (Malus pumila) often have smaller, sour fruits. Recent authors are followed here in treating P. pyraster as a synonym.
