Osteomeles
''Osteomeles'' is a genus of plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. They are shrubs native to eastern Asia, with Compound leaf, compound leaves, opposite leaf, opposite leaf arrangement, and small pome fruit. The fruits of all species in this genus are edible. Taxonomy The genus has sometimes been considered to include South American species of ''Hesperomeles'' which, like ''Osteomeles'', have only one ovule per locule and hard pyrena, pyrenes. But ''Hesperomeles'' notably have simple leaves, and recent molecular phylogenetics suggest that the two genera are only distantly related.
