Sorbus scopulina, also known as Greene's mountain-ash, is a species of rowan that is native to western North America, primarily in the Rocky Mountains.[1] The common name of this species is named in honor of American botanist Edward Lee Greene.[2] Throughout the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Northwest portions of this rowan's habitat, it is commonly called Cascade mountain-ash, sometimes listed as Sorbus scopulina var. cascadensis.[3]

Various birds and mammals, including bears, eat the fruit.[4] They were eaten by Native Americans and early settlers, and be cooked and made into jelly.
