Pyrus bourgaeana

Pyrus bourgaeana, the Iberian pear, is a species of pear in the rose family Rosaceae, and a close relative of the common pear (Pyrus communis). This small tree (typically 3–6 m high) is widely distributed across the southern Iberian Peninsula and northern Morocco, where it coexists with four other Pyrus species: common pear, Plymouth pear (P. cordata), almond-leaved pear (P. spinosa), and snow pear (P. nivalis). Characteristics to discriminate these species are the width of fruit peduncle, petal size, leaf width and petiole length served to the taxa.
