Towards an account for Cotoneaster (Rosaceae) in Belgium
The genus Cotoneaster has been thoroughly studied and documented in Belgium for more than 10 years now. In addition to one rather rare and local native species (Cotoneaster integerrimus Medik.) at least 24 additional, reliably identified non-native species are known to occur / to have occurred (see the updated Excel-version of the “Catalogue of neophytes in Belgium” on http://alienplantsbelgium.be/ for an overview). A few more require further study and confirmation.
