tinguislied by its much smaller unspotted fruit and by the lighter colored warty 

 branchlets and the warty inflorescence. 



The oldest specific name for this species " cuspidata" cannot be used on account 

 of Sorbus cuspidata Hedlund. Neither can the name S. sikkimensis Wenzig be 

 appUed to this species, as that name must be considered, if restricted to the typical 

 form, a synonym of S. granulosa; the description of the fruit shows clearly that 

 S. sikkimensis belongs to that species, and, moreover, at least two of the four 

 specimens quoted under the typical form belong to S. granulosa. The three varieties 

 enumerated by Wenzig under S. sikkimensis all represent distinct species.
