according to https://apps.lucidcentral.org/plants_se_nsw/text/entities/pyracantha_fortuneana.htm
P. crenatoserrata is an old name for P. fortuneana
So it would be a good idea to remove P. crenatoserrata and replace its sightings as P. fortuneana.

Yes I agree, @michaelb could we merge the two species?
