Aria (genus)
The whitebeams are members of the family Rosaceae, comprising subgenus ''Aria'' (or, according to some authorities, its own genus) of genus '' Sorbus'', and hybrids involving species of this subgenus and members of subgenera ''Sorbus'', ''Torminaria'' and ''Chamaemespilus''. They are deciduous trees with simple or lobed leaves, arranged alternately. They are related to the rowans (''Sorbus'' subgenus ''Sorbus''), and many of the endemic restricted-range apomictic microspecies of whitebeam in Europe are thought to derive from hybrids between ''S. aria'' and the European rowan ''S. aucuparia''; some are also thought to be hybrids with the wild service tree ''S. torminalis'', notably the service tree of Fontainebleau ''Sorbus latifolia'' in French woodlands. The best known species is the common whitebeam ''Sorbus aria'', a columnar tree which grows to tall by broad, with clusters of white flowers in spring followed by speckled red berries in autumn (fall).

Christiaan Hendrik Persoon
Christiaan Hendrik Persoon (1 February 1761 Р16 November 1836) was a German mycologist who made additions to Linnaeus' mushroom taxonomy. Early life Persoon was born in South Africa at the Cape of Good Hope, the third child of an immigrant Pomeranian father and Dutch mother. His mother died soon after he was born; at the age of thirteen his father (who died a year later) sent him to Europe for his education. Education Initially studying theology at Halle, at age 22 (in 1784) Persoon switched to medicine at Leiden and G̦ttingen. He received a doctorate from the "Kaiserlich-Leopoldinisch-Carolinische Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher" in 1799. Later years He moved to Paris in 1802, where he spent the rest of his life, renting an upper floor of a house in a poor part of town. He was apparently unemployed, unmarried, poverty-stricken and a recluse, although he corresponded with botanists throughout Europe. Because of his financial difficulties, Persoon agreed to dona ...

Cultivars
A cultivar is a type of Horticulture, cultivated plant that people have selected for desired phenotypic trait, traits and when Plant propagation, propagated retain those traits. Methods used to propagate cultivars include: division, root and stem cuttings, offsets, grafting, micropropagation, tissue culture, or carefully controlled seed production. Most cultivars arise from purposeful human genetic engineering, manipulation, but some originate from wild plants that have distinctive characteristics. Cultivar names are chosen according to rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), and not all cultivated plants qualify as cultivars. Horticulturists generally believe the word ''cultivar''''Cultivar'' () has two meanings, as explained in ''#Formal definition, Formal definition'': it is a classification category and a taxonomic unit within the category. When referring to a taxon, the word does not apply to an individual plant but to all plants that s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sorbus Croceocarpa
''Sorbus'' is a genus of over 100 species of trees and shrubs in the rose family, Rosaceae. Species of ''Sorbus'' (''s.l.'') are commonly known as whitebeam, rowan (mountain-ash) and service tree. The exact number of species is disputed depending on the circumscription of the genus, and also due to the number of apomictic microspecies, which some treat as distinct species, but others group in a smaller number of variable species.

Sorbus Arranensis
''Sorbus arranensis'', sometimes referred to as the Scottish or Arran whitebeam is a species of plant in the family Rosaceae. It is endemic to the island of Arran in Scotland. Range and habitat The species is threatened by habitat loss and only 283 ''Sorbus arranensis'' were recorded as mature trees in 1980. They are protected in Glen Diomhan off Glen Catacol, which was formerly part of a National Nature Reserve; although this designation was removed in 2011 the area continues to form part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and is monitored by staff from NatureScot. In its native states its distribution is restricted to Abhainn Bheag (Uisge Solus), Glen Diomhan (and tributary), Glen Catacol, Allt nan Calman, ''Allt Dubh'', Gleann Easan Biorach and Glen Iorsa (''Allt-nan-Champ''). The trees are found in small remnants of woodland on inaccessible steep slopes, and grow on acidic soils. ''Sorbus arranensis'', evoked most collecting interest in 1870†...

Sorbus Anglica
''Sorbus anglica'', the English whitebeam, is a species of whitebeam tree in the family Rosaceae. It is uncommonly found in Ireland and the United Kingdom, with an entire British population estimated at about 600David Jones, ''Welsh Wildlife'', 2003, "Trees", p. 39. individuals. Description ''Sorbus anglica'' grows as a small tree or shrub, often with multiple stems. The leaves are broader than most other ''Sorbus'', with lobes whose bases are incised up to one third of the way to the midrib. Distribution ''Sorbus anglica'' is found in several widely scattered sites in south-west England, Wales, and around Killarney in south-west Ireland. Ecology and evolution ''Sorbus anglica'' is usually found growing on cliffs, quarries and rocky hillsides. It appears to be indifferent to soil pH. Occasional specimens are known from oak woodland. Research suggests ''Sorbus anglica'' arose from a cross between ''Sorbus porrigentiformis'' and ''Sorbus aucuparia ''Sorbus aucuparia'', com ...
