Sorbus discolor is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to China.[1] Although it is recorded in wide use as an ornamental tree in the United Kingdom and other countries,[2] Some European specimens labelled as Sorbus discolor have been found instead to be misidentified examples of Sorbus commixta, the Japanese rowan.[3][4] Sorbus commixta fruit is bright orange to red, whereas the fruit of Sorbus discolor is white, or possibly dull pink to yellowish-orange.[3]
