Photographed last week at the University of Liverpool Botanic Gardens.
At a distant glance it looks like a Rhododendron, but when you get
closer it's clearly far distant from a Rhododendron. I think that it's
rosaceous, and probably belongs to subfamily Maloideae. It reminds me a
little of Raphiolepis (seen at Birmingham Botanic Gardens).
