Pyrus oxyprion is a species of pear in the family Rosaceae that is native to the mountainous regions of Armenia, Turkey, Georgia and Iran. This deciduous shrub or small tree grows 3–5 metres tall with an irregular, spreading form, featuring grey-brown branches with stout spines and dark brown, densely leafy young shoots. It bears narrow, elliptical leaves with sharp-toothed margins, white five-petalled flowers arranged in clusters of 7–12 blooms, and produces somewhat pear-shaped, green-yellow fruits about 3 centimetres in diameter when ripe. The species grows on dry, rocky slopes and in open thickets between 600 and 1700 metres above sea level, preferring well-drained soils and full sun, and is currently classified as a near-threatened species on the IUCN Red List....read more on Wikipedia.
