Cox's pear, scientifically known as Pyrus coxii, is a rare and lesser-known species of pear native to the mountainous regions of central Asia. This deciduous tree is distinguished by its small, ornamental fruits and its ability to thrive in harsh, alpine conditions. Despite its unique characteristics, it remains relatively obscure in horticultural circles due to its limited distribution and cultivation challenges. The plant has attracted interest from botanists and plant enthusiasts for its potential in ecological restoration and genetic diversity. Its study offers insights into adaptive strategies of plants in extreme environments.
