Description originale : Protologue: Cotoneaster Symondsii :—from Mr. Standish, Bagshot. A very elegant and little known hardy evergreen shrub, of erect habit, furnished with elliptic leaves, larger than, but resembling, those of buxifolia. The plants, at this season of the year, are loaded with large orange-scarlet berries, which render them exceedingly ornamental. (IPNI)

Nomenclature : As Kumar & Panigrahi (1992) have pointed out, on the basis of priority, Cotoneaster symondsii T. Moore replaces the later synonym C. simonsii Baker. Moore’s name was effectively published in a journal and accompanied by a description. It does not matter that, contrary to Baker’s protologue of C. simonsii, his description is not in Latin and is lacking an illustration. Orthography cannot be corrected, since there is no unequivocal indication as to whom Moore intended to commemorate (possibly, P. L. Simmonds, or, as for Baker’s name, C. J. Simons; Kumar & Panigrahi 1992)
