|discussion=<p><i>Pyracantha crenulata</i> is native to southwestern China, India, Kashmir, and Nepal. A dwarf variant has been called var. kansuensis and is reported as native to China (A. J. Rehder 1949; Gu C. Z. and S. A. Spongberg 2003b); it is distinguished by its short stature (rarely exceeding 2 m), abundantly thorny branches, small leaf blades (1–2.5 × 0.4–0.8 cm), and small (3–5 mm diam.) red pomes. Its presence among the naturalized records of <i>P. crenulata</i> in California is suggested, but its morphology is not clearly distinctive. G. L. Nesom (2010) suggested <i>P. fortuneana</i> was not distinct from <i>P. crenulata</i>.</p>
