Alniaria folgneri

Alniaria folgneri (syn. Sorbus folgneri), Folgner's whitebeam, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to central China.[1][2] A small tree, the abaxial side of its soft leaves are covered in a silvery-white tomentose layer. Its autumn foliage often turns golden pink, set off by the white undersides, but the intensity of the color varies from year to year.[3] Its cultivar 'Emiel' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4]
