*Sorbaria species ABMAR01/17 : 5 posts by 4 authors. 10 images.

On my walk last Sunday, I found this shrub growing next to the water. There were many of these around with their dry seedpods hanging like tassels. I dug up my old pictures from the same area from last summer and are posting them here together. It is likely Sorbaria tomentosa (or perhaps S. sorbifolia). Please advise.

From 31 May 2015

Sorbaria tomentosa angustifolia may be?

---

I think matches with the images of Sorbaria tomentosa 

---

Yes S.tomentosa to me too.

Sorbus microphylla (Wallich ex J. D. Hooker) Wenzig ??

Sorry to intrude but those leaflets just don’t look right for Sorbus….. look too long to be Sorbus microphylla.
