Pyrus anatolica (Turkish: som ahlat [2]) is a species of pear in the family Rosaceae. It is endemic to Turkey.[3]

The branches, leaves, and fruit have been analyzed for the presence of arbutin,[4] phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity,[5] as well as phytochemical, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antifungal activity.[6][7]
