Hedlundia
Hedlundia is a genus of plants in the rose family (of Rosaceae). They are shrubs or small trees that have a hybrid origin involving crosses between Aria and Sorbus sensu stricto. There are about 60 species distributed across central, western and southern Europe, Scandinavia, Turkey, the Caucasus, Crimea, Iran, and central Asia. The name Hedlundia was published in 2017.
They are native to most parts of Europe (within Albania, Austria, Baltic States, Bulgaria, Crimea, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Yugoslavia). As well as parts of central Asia, (within Kazakhstan, Kirghistan, North Caucasus, Tajikistan, Transcaucasus, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and a few regions in the western Asia, (within Iran and Turkey).
Several species are grown as ornamental trees, such as a specimen tree of Hedlundia tamamschjanae, which grows in Kew Gardens and was introduced to Britain by the Armenian botanist Dr Eleonora Gabrieljan.
