Aria graeca, also known as the Greek whitebeam and fan-leaved service-tree, is a species of whitebeam, in the rose family (Rosaceae).[3][4][5][6]

Description

[edit]

The Greek whitebeam is a deciduous shrub or small tree from 1 to 8 metres high. It is superficially similar to the closely related common whitebeam, but differs in having more strongly pronounced serrations on its leaves. It bears white flowers and red pomes.[6][7]

Distribution and habitat

[edit]

The tree is native to central and southeastern Europe (Albania, Austria, the Balearics, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Poland, Romania, Sicily, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine), the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia), the Eastern Mediterranean (Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria) and parts of North Africa (Algeria, Morocco).[8]
