Scandosorbus is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. It includes two species of trees native to northern Europe.[1]
- Scandosorbus intermedia (Ehrh.) Sennikov – Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Baltic states, Poland, and Germany
- Scandosorbus liljeforsii (T.C.G.Rich) Sennikov – southwestern Sweden
Both species are the result of hybridization. S. intermedia was derived from an ancient hybridization among Aria, Sorbus, and Torminalis. S. liljeforsii is more recently derived from S. intermedia × Sorbus aucuparia.[2]
The genus was proposed to replace Borkhausenia Sennikov & Kurtto (2017), which is an illegitimate near-homonym. Borkhausenia was intended to describe all species from hybridization among Aria, Sorbus, and Torminalis.[2]
