A taxonomic revision of the Asiatic genus Sorbaria (Rosaceae). 4 species are recognized: S. sorbifolia (including S. stellipila), S. grandiflora (= S. pallasii incl. S. rhoifolia), S. kirilowii,(incl. S. arborea and S. assurgens ) and S. tomentosa (= S. lindleyana , incl. S. olgae and S. gilgitensis ) with var. angustifolia , comb. nov. (= S. aitchisonii ). Hybrids presumably between S. sorbifolia and S. grandiflora and S. sorbifolia and S. kirilowii are found cultivated.
