See text Karpatiosorbus (Synonymy: Sorbus subgenus Tormaria Májovsky & Bernátová = S. subgenus Aria x subgenus Torminaria) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, native to Europe, including Crimea, and Algeria.

[2] Shrubs or small trees, they appear to have arisen via hybridization events between the clades Aria (Pers.)

[3] Many of its species propagate solely by apomixis.

The genus name of Karpatiosorbus is in honour of Zoltán Kárpáti (1909–1972), who was a Hungarian (Geo-)Botanist, Taxonomist, Dendrologist and specialist in Sorbus (from central Europe).

[4] The genus was circumscribed by Alexander Nikolaevitsch Sennikov and Arto Kurtto in Memoranda Soc.
