Sorbus scopulina is a species of rowan that is native to western North America, primarily in the Rocky Mountains.[1] The common name of this species is often given as 'Greene mountain-ash', and is so named in honor of American botanist Edward Lee Greene.[2] Throughout the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Northwestern portions of this rowan's habitat, it is commonly called Cascade Mountain-ash, sometimes listed as Sorbus scopulina var. cascadensis.[3]
