Mespilus germanica
Mespilus, commonly called medlar, is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae containing the single species "Mespilus germanica" of southwest Asia. It is also found in some countries in the Balkans, especially in Albanian regions. A second proposed species, "Mespilus canescens", discovered in North America in 1990, proved to be a hybrid between "M. germanica" and one or more species of hawthorn, and is properly known as ×"Crataemespilus canescens".
