Abstract

The distribution and population sizes of Sorbus cambrensis (Welsh Whitebeam) and S. stenophylla (Llanthony Whitebeam) (Rosaceae) are revised based on field surveys. About 224 trees of S. cambrensis occur in eight populations/subpopulations (including in the Llanthony Valley), and about 96 trees of S. stenophylla occur in five populations/subpopulations. Morphological analysis of leaves confirmed the two species were different and showed some variation within each species.
