A european tree ({Pyrus aucuparia}) related to the apple, but
with pinnate leaves and flat corymbs of small white flowers
followed by little bright red berries. Called also {roan
tree}, and {mountain ash}. The name is also applied to two
American trees of similar habit ({Pyrus Americana}, and
{Pyrus sambucifolia}).
