Amelanchier australis is a plant species native to Mexico and New Mexico. Some sources consider this to be the same species as A. utahensis but The Plant List[1] regards the two as distinct.
Amelanchier australis is a branching shrub up to 2 m (80 in) tall. Leaves are thick and leathery, ovate to oblong, up to 32 mm (1 1⁄4 in) long, the upper side green with small hairs, the underside more densely hairy. Flowers are born in a raceme of 6–15 flowers at the end of branches. Calyx lobes are green, persistent in fruit, up to 5 mm (3⁄16 in) long. Petals are narrow oblong, up to 6 mm (1⁄4 in) long. Fruits are spherical, about 6 mm (1⁄4 in) in diameter.[2]
