One of the disagreements between horticulturalists and
botanists was whether Malus and Pyrus should be one genus or two.
The former claimed two, because they are graft-incompatible.
I don't know where the Craetagus/Pyracantha/etc. group fits in; it
might be closer to Pyrus.
Might Pyracantha/Pyrus be a clue?
No. Pyrus comes from the latin for a pear, and pyracantha from
the Greek for fire+thorn. Yes, I had to look those up :-)
