Editorial Note
The text below is that of Bean (Bean 1981) who discussed this taxon under the name Sorbus pseudovertesensis below his article on S. latifolia (now Karpatiosorbus latifolia). We have created this hybrid article – Bean’s text under the correct modern name, with appropriate synonymy – whilst we await sponsorship to enable a full revision of this genus to be written. We are re-organising the Sorbus sensu lato articles in this way to enable a new revision of Sorbus sensu stricto to commence in 2023, and to bring the nomenclature of this complex group of plants up to date in line with modern treatments.

The second of the Hungarian group to have been introduced, from the same area as S. karpatii, is S. pseudovertesensis Boros. This has similar fruits, but the leaves are ovate-oblong, to about 31⁄2 in. long, 2 in. wide, acute or acuminate at the apex, cuneate or slightly cordate at the base, with nine to eleven pairs of lateral veins, obscurely lobed, finely and bluntly toothed, greenish and thinly tomentose beneath.
