Sorbus aucuparia
''Sorbus aucuparia'', more commonly called rowan and mountain-ash (although the latter name may be used for several other unrelated trees), is a species of deciduous tree or shrub in the rose family. It is a highly variable species, and botanists have used different 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 and Iceland to Russia and northern China. Unlike many plants with similar distributions, it is not native to Japan.〔
''S. aucuparia'' 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. The plant is undemanding and frost hardy and colonizes disrupted and inaccessible places as a short-lived pioneer species.
Fruit and foliage of ''S. aucuparia'' have been used by humans in the creation of dishes and beverages, as a folk medicine, and as fodder for livestock. Its tough and flexible wood has traditionally been used for woodworking. It is planted to fortify soil in mountain regions or as an ornamental tree and has several cultivars.
==Names==
(詳細はbinomial name ''Sorbus aucuparia'' is composed of the Latin words ''sorbus'' for service tree and ''aucuparia'', which derives from the words ''avis'' for "bird" and ''capere'' for "catching" and describes the use of the fruit of ''S. aucuparia'' as bait for fowling.〔Erlbeck, Haseder, Stinglwagner 1998, p. 166〕 The plant is commonly known as rowan and mountain-ash,〔Godet 1994, p. 52〕 and has also been called Amur mountain-ash, European mountain-ash, quick beam, quickbeam, or rowan-berry. The species is unrelated to the true ash trees (genus ''Fraxinus''), which also carry pinnate leaves or the species ''Eucalyptus regnans'', also called mountain ash, native to Tasmania and Victoria in southeastern Australia. 〔Breckwoldt 2011, p. 152〕 ''S. aucuparia'' was previously categorized as ''Pyrus aucuparia''.〔Hora 1993, p. 184〕 The author citation ''Sorbus aucuparia'' L. belongs to Carl Linnaeus.
