Apparently not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mespilus_germanica

Until recently, Mespilus germanica was the only known species of medlar. However, in 1990, a new species was discovered in North America, now named Mespilus canescens. The loquat, Eriobotrya japonica, is more distantly related than genera such as Crataegus, Amelanchier, Peraphyllum, and Malacomeles,[4] but was once thought to be closely related, and is still sometimes called the ‘Japanese medlar’.
