Majovskya is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rosaceae. [1] They are shrubs or small trees, they appear to have arisen via hybridization events between the clades Aria (Pers.) Host and Chamaemespilus (L.) Crantz. [2]

It is native to Europe and found in Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Switzerland. [1] Majovskya sudetica has also be found in Ukraine in 2020. [3]

The genus name of Majovskya is in honour of Jozef Májovský (1920–2012), who was a Slovakian botanist and Professor of Botany in Bratislava. This was due to "the development of the taxonomy of hybridogenous Sorbus taxa in Slovakia". [4] It was first described and published by Alexander Nikolaevitsch Sennikov and Arto Kurtto in Memoranda Soc. Fauna Fl. Fenn. vol.93 on page 63 in 2017. [1] [2]

The US Germplasm Resources Information Network calls Majovskya a synonym of ×ChamaeariaMezhenskyj, as while the name is legitimate, Majovskya is incorrect because ×Chamaearia should have priority (according to Shenzhen ICN 11.3). [5]

<i>Sorbus</i> Genus of flowering plants in the rose family Rosaceae

Sorbus is a genus of over 100 species of trees and shrubs in the rose family, Rosaceae. Species of Sorbus (s.l.) are commonly known as whitebeam, rowan (mountain-ash) and service tree. The exact number of species is disputed depending on the circumscription of the genus, and also due to the number of apomictic microspecies, which some treat as distinct species, but others group in a smaller number of variable species. Recent treatments classify Sorbus in a narrower sense to include only the pinnate leaved species of subgenus Sorbus, raising several of the other subgenera to generic rank.
