Sorbus Vertesensis
''Sorbus'' is a genus of over 100 species of trees and shrubs in the rose family, Rosaceae. Species of ''Sorbus'' ('' s.str.'') are commonly known as rowan or mountain-ash. The genus used to include species commonly known as whitebeam, chequer tree and service tree that are now classified in other genera (see below). The genus ''Sorbus'', as currently circumscribed, includes only the pinnate leaved species of former subgenus ''Sorbus''. ''Sorbus'' is not closely related to the true ash trees which belong to the genus ''Fraxinus'', although the leaves are superficially similar. Genus As treated in its broad sense, the genus was traditionally divided into several subgenera, however, this treatment was found to be paraphyletic, comprising two disparate lineages within the Malinae subtribe. Consequently, each of the former subgenera have since been elevated into genera in their own right, with the genus name ''Sorbus'' retained only for the rowans. Additionally, it was recognised ...

Sorbus Aucuparia
''Sorbus aucuparia'', commonly called rowan (, also ) and mountain-ash, is a species of deciduous tree or shrub in the rose family. The tree has a slender trunk with smooth bark, a loose and roundish crown, and its leaves are pinnate in pairs of leaflets on a central vein with a terminal leaflet. It blossoms from May to June in dense corymbs of small yellowish white flowers and develops small red pomes as fruit that ripen from August to October and are eaten by many bird species. It is a highly variable species, and botanists have used different Circumscription (taxonomy), definitions of the species to include or exclude trees native to certain areas. A recent definition includes trees native to most of Europe and parts of Asia, as well as northern Africa. The range extends from Madeira, the British Isles and Iceland to Russia and northern China. Unlike many plants with similar distributions, it is not native to Japan. The plant is frost hardy and colonizes disrupted and inacces ...

Aria (plant)
''Aria'' is a genus of plant in the rose family Rosaceae. It includes some of the deciduous species commonly known as whitebeams, and is native to Europe, the north African mountains and western Asia. Via hybridisation with related genera, it is a main contributor to the genesis of a complex of apomicts of intergeneric hybrid origin, which are also commonly referred to as whitebeams. Description Whitebeams of the genus ''Aria'' are small to medium-sized bushes or trees. The leaves are simple and almost white on the underside. The leaf margins are often serrated. While some species such as common whitebeam ('' Aria edulis'') may grow into sizeable trees of up to height, many species (such as rock whitebeam, '' Aria rupicola'') stay bushy. They bear corymbs of white flowers in spring, and the small, colourful pome fruits ripen in late summer. Whitebeam apomicts Hybridisation events between at least one member of genus ''Aria'' and at least one member of at least one differ ...

Cultivars
A cultivar is a kind of cultivated plant that people have selected for desired traits and which retains those traits when propagated. Methods used to propagate cultivars include division, root and stem cuttings, offsets, grafting, tissue culture, or carefully controlled seed production. Most cultivars arise from deliberate human 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'': 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 share the unique characteristics that define the cultivar. was coined as a term meaning "cultivated ...

Normeyera
''Normeyera'' is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. It includes nine species native to west-central Europe, ranging from France through Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia to Poland. They are distinguished from other members of the Sorboid clade (''Sorbus'' and relatives) by glabrous to white or grey tomentose leaves having a doubly serrate margin or with very small obtuse lobes. They are believed to be the result of hybridization from three clades, ''Aria In music, an aria (, ; : , ; ''arias'' in common usage; diminutive form: arietta, ; : ariette; in English simply air (music), air) is a self-contained piece for one voice, with or without instrument (music), instrumental or orchestral accompan ...'' × '' Chamaemespilus'' × ''Sorbus''.Rushforth, K. 2018.

Scandosorbus
''Scandosorbus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. It includes two species of trees native to northern Europe. *'' Scandosorbus intermedia'' – Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Baltic states, Poland, and Germany *'' Scandosorbus liljeforsii'' – southwestern Sweden Both species are the result of hybridization. ''S. intermedia'' was derived from an ancient hybridization among ''Aria'', ''Sorbus'', and ''Torminalis''.

Majovskya
''Majovskya'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rosaceae. They are shrubs or small trees, they appear to have arisen via hybridization events between the clades ''Aria'' (Pers.) Host and '' Chamaemespilus'' (L.) Crantz. It is native to Europe and found in Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Switzerland. ''Majovskya sudetica'' has also be found in Ukraine in 2020. The genus name of ''Majovskya'' is in honour of Jozef Májovský (1920–2012), who was a Slovakian botanist and Professor of Botany in Bratislava. This was due to "the development of the taxonomy of hybridogenous Sorbus taxa in Slovakia". It was first described and published by Alexander Nikolaevitsch Sennikov and Arto Kurtto in Memoranda Soc. Fauna Fl. Fenn. vol.93 on page 63 in 2017. The US Germplasm Resources Information Network calls ''Majovskya'' a synonym of ×''Chamaearia'' , as while the name is legitimate, ''Majovskya'' is incorrect because ''×Chamaearia'' should h ...

Karpatiosorbus
''Karpatiosorbus'' (Synonymy: ''Sorbus'' subgenus ''Tormaria'' Májovsky & Bernátová = ''S''. subgenus ''Aria'' x subgenus ''Torminaria'') is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, native to Europe, including Crimea, and Algeria. Shrubs or small trees, they appear to have arisen via hybridization events between the clades ''Aria'' (Pers.) Host and '' Torminalis'' Medik. Many of its species propagate solely by apomixis In botany, apomixis is asexual development of seed or embryo without fertilization. However, other definitions include replacement of the seed by a plantlet or replacement of the flower by bulbils. Apomictically produced offspring are geneti .... The genus name of ''Karpatiosorbus'' is in honour of Zoltán Kárpáti (1909–1972), who was a Hungarian (Geo-)Botanist, Taxonomist, Dendrologist and specialist in Sorbus (from central Europe).

Caucasus
The Caucasus () or Caucasia (), is a region spanning Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is situated between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, comprising parts of Southern Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The Caucasus Mountains, including the Greater Caucasus range, have conventionally been considered as a natural barrier between Europe and Asia, bisecting the Eurasian landmass. Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest mountain, is situated in the Western Caucasus area of Russia. On the southern side, the Lesser Caucasus includes the Javakheti Plateau and the Armenian highlands. The Caucasus is divided into the North Caucasus and South Caucasus, although the Western Caucasus also exists as a distinct geographic space within the North Caucasus. The Greater Caucasus mountain range in the north is mostly shared by Russia and Georgia as well as the northernmost parts of Azerbaijan. The Lesser Caucasus mountain range in the south is mostly located on the territory of sout ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Apfelwein
''Apfelwein'' (; ), or ''Viez'' (, Moselfranken, Saarland, Trier; ) or ''Most'' (, Austria, Switzerland, South Germany; ) are German words for cider. It is made from various kinds of sour tasting apples (such as "Bohnapfel"). It has an alcohol content of 4.8–7.0% and a tart, sour taste. ''Apfelwein'' is also regionally known as ''Ebbelwoi'', ''Stöffsche'', ''Apfelmost'' (apple must), ''Viez'' (from Latin ''vice'', the second or substitute wine), and ''saurer Most'' (sour must, ''Süßmost'' or sweet must is essentially apple juice). Instead of the name ''Apfelwein'', restaurants and smaller manufacturers may instead call the beverage ''Schoppen'' or ''Schoppe'', which actually refers to the measure of the glass. In the Frankfurt area, berries from the service tree (''Sorbus domestica'') may be added in small quantities to increase astringency, in which case the specific type of ''Apfelwein'' is called ''Speierling''. In modern times, the term ''Speierling'' is often also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
