Hedlundia arranensis, sometimes referred to as the Scottish or Arran whitebeam, is a species of plant in the family Rosaceae.
The species is threatened by habitat loss and only 283 Hedlundia arranensis were recorded as mature trees in 1980.
[2] They are protected in Glen Diomhan off Glen Catacol, which was formerly part of a National Nature Reserve; although this designation was removed in 2011 the area continues to form part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and is monitored by staff from NatureScot.
The trees are found in small remnants of woodland on inaccessible steep slopes, and grow on acidic soils.
Hedlundia arranensis evoked most collecting interest in 1870–1890 and 1920–1940, although older herbarium specimens exist.
