Karpatiosorbus Explained

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.^[1] Many of its species propagate solely by apomixis.

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).^[2]

The genus was circumscribed by Alexander Nikolaevitsch Sennikov and Arto Kurtto in Memoranda Soc. Fauna Fl. Fenn.vol.93 on page 46 in 2017.
