NOTE

A good example of name confusion, in this case as a consequence of careless import, is told by Jill Kellow from Burnley College, Australia, in her article "The Manchurian Mystery, The Story of two Leaves".

Re : Pyrus japonica Thunb. & Pyrus maulei Mast.

GRIN lists both as synonyms of Chaenomeles japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. ex Spach but Wang Zongxun et al. distinguish between the "Dwarf Japanese flowering-quince" ( Chaenomeles japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. ex Spach) and the " Japanese flowering-quince" ( Chaenomeles lagenaria (Loisel.) Koidz.). GRIN also lists Chaenomeles lagenaria but remains vague about the authority name "auct.", so these 2 references are not in contradiction, but matching the Pyrus names precisely as synonyms is difficult.
