Maule's Quince (Chaenomeles japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. ex Spach)

Also known as Japanese quince.

POWO treats Chaenomeles speciosa (Sweet) Nakai as a synonym of this species and marks the name as nom. superfl. However, every other source we consulted treats that name as a synonym of flowering quince (Chaenomeles lagenaria) so for now we follow that scheme.
