one of my favourites (9) ---> Sorbus folgneri

[JDL]

warming up with this nice graceful small tree

feel free to discuss the identity

[tormi]

Hallo Jan,

Sorbus japonica?

[JDL]

at least the genus is the right one, Tom: Sorbus

more, it also belongs to the same group (section) of Micromeles

this is an images with fruiting shoot

[LCV]

S. hibernica?

BR, Frank

[tormi]

Sorbus hibernica gehört zur Sektion Aria glaube ich. Bei Micromeles fallen die Kelchzipfel der Früchte ab.

Es gibt noch einige in dieser Sektion.

Passen würde noch:
Sorbus rhamnoides

[JDL]

what Tom says about Sorbus hibernica is indeed correct: it also belongs to the subgenus Aria but in a different section Micromeles - it is closely related to Sorbus aria a so called microspecies from Ireland.
of course this is not easy to see without fruits: sepals deciduous

This one here is a true species from central China.
The whitish to greyish abaxial side of the lamina is striking.
And it is a more common one compared with the ones mentioned.
Sorbus japonica has much broader lamina and obvoid yellowish pomes.
Sorbus rhamnoides has small pomes and lamina +/-glabrous abaxially.

[LCV]

Is it Sorbus folgneri?

BR Frank

[JDL]

Sorbus folgneri

congratulations, Frank

[tormi]

I excluded that one because of this picture. It has less lateral veins. But it was indeed m first idea. So I found the way to the sektions of Micromeles.
Nice riddle
Congratulations Frank
