Sorbus spuria, Pers. (Pyrus heterophylla, Dur. S. Aucuparia x Aronia arbutifolia). Shrub or small tree, attaining 15 ft., with slender, sometimes pendulous branches: lvs. ovate to oblong-ovate, obtuse, with 2-6 lobes or lfts. near the base, simply crenate-serrate toward the apex, 1 1/2 -3 1/2 in. long, pubescent beneath: fls. white or pinkish white, in pubescent or glabrous corymbs 1 - 1 1/2 in. broad: fr. subglobose or pear-shaped, dark purple. May, June. Of garden origin. B.R. 1196. —Sometimes cult. under the name S. quercifolia floribunda nana. Hybrids of different origin are usually united under S. spuria; the more pubescent forms with dark purple fr. are probably the offspring of S. Aucuparia and Aronia arbutifolia and represent typical S. spuria, while the more glabrous forms with usually blackish fr. have S. Aucuparia and Aronia melanocarpa as their parents and may be called S. fallax, Schneid. (S. heterophylla, Dipp.). A similar form with quite glabrous and more pointed lvs., is probably a hybrid of S. americana and Aronia melanocarpa, and is named S. sorbifolia, Hedl. (S. Sargentii, Dipp.).
