Short description: A species in the family Rosaceae

Sorbus groenlandica, the Greenland mountain-ash, is a species of Sorbus found in Greenland and northeastern North America. A shrub, it cannot be found north of 62°15′N, which confines it the southern tip of Greenland, generally deeper up the western fjords, such as the Qinngua Valley.^[2]^[3] It can also be found in eastern Canada and the US states of New Hampshire and Maine, but is very rare throughout its range.^[4] Some authorities have it as a synonym of Sorbus decora, the showy mountain-ash.
