- B. Hylmö & J. Fryer, Acta Bot. Fenn. 162: 181 (1999). Holotype (LE): Russia: Polar Ural, basin of river Lyapina, branch of river Sev. Sosna, upper part of river Hulga, 27. Aug. 1926, leg. B.N. Gorodkov 297.
- Cotoneaster uniflorus auct., non Bunge (1830).
Geography: European (NE): RUS.
Notes: Fryer and Hylmö (2009) distinguished between the Siberian Cotoneaster uniflorus and the Polar Ural C. uralensis. The latter certainly reaches the Arctic, the former not, even if this name frequently has been applied to the arctic plant. Cotoneaster uralensis is apomictic (Fryer and Hylmö 2009) and probably polyploid.
