'''''Sorbus hupehensis''''' ('''Hubei Rowan''' or '''Hupeh Rowan''') is a species of [[rowan]] native to central and western [[China]].<ref name=foc>Flora of China: [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200011686 ''Sorbus hupehensis'']</ref> It is a small [[deciduous]] [[tree]] growing to 5–10 m tall, with grey-brown to purplish-brown bark. The branches and shoots are slender. The [[leaf|leaves]] are green above, paler beneath, 10–15 cm long, [[leaf shape|pinnate]] with 7-17 narrow oval leaflets 3–5 cm long and 1–1.8 cm broad, with an acute apex, and serrated margins. They change to orange or red in autumn. The [[flower]]s are 5–7 mm diameter, with five white petals and 20 yellowish-white stamens; they are produced in [[corymb]]s 6–10 cm diameter in late spring to early summer. The [[fruit]] is a [[pome]] 5–8 mm diameter, bright pink with persistent sepals, maturing in late autumn.<ref name=foc/> It is grown as an [[ornamental tree]], valued for its white fruit contrasting with the orange autumn colour. In cultivation, it has often been confused with the related ''[[Sorbus glabrescens]]'' (White-fruited Rowan) and ''[[Sorbus oligodonta]]'' (Kite-leaf Rowan) from southwestern China. The former differs in being a larger tree (to 15 m) with stouter shoots and larger leaves, the latter in having pale pink fruit; both are tetraploid [[apomixis|apomictic]] species which breed true. The cultivar 'Pink Pagoda', often cited as belonging to ''S. hupehensis'', is of ''S. oligodonta''.<ref name=rushforth>Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''.
