a pretty small shrub w dainty lvs & clusters of sm.whi fls followed
by showy
coral-red frs.S/M "

The limited information I found is that there is one hybrid,
xPyracomeles
vilmorinii. The reference said it is a rare semi-evergreen shrub. It has
white
flowers but is sterile and produces no fruit. It would be interesting to
know
which species were the parents.

From what little I know of plant biology/nomenclature, this plant shouldn't
exist as a distinct species. :oP

A 'species' refers to a group of plants that are reproductively isolated?

It is NOT a species. It is a crossed hybrid, and it is sterile.
Each of the parents is a species (presumably), but their
offspring is in sexual limbo. ;-)

I notice that at the Bonsai Societies of Florida Convention in late May that
Ed Trout will be doing a demonstration on a pyrocomoles

Bart . . . there are several people in Southwest Florida that have large
Pyrocomeles as bonsai. They make absolutely stunning weeping style trees. Jim
Smith in Vero Beach, Florida is the only nurseryman that I know that has this
plant available for purchase.
