Hallo to both Jims,

English plantnames are often only confusing and nonsense.
Mountain ash is nonsense (in that article) because of wrong copying.

> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia*: 

**Mountain Ash* is a name used for several unrelated trees. It may refer to:

   * /Eucalyptus regnans
     <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_regnans>/, the tallest of
     all flowering plants
   * /Fraxinus texensis
     <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraxinus_texensis>/, an Ash tree
     <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_tree> species in Texas
   * Trees in the genus /Sorbus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbus>/
     in North America (mainly U.S.A.) .
   * In Britain it is used exclusively for Sorbus aucuparia
     <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbus_aucuparia> which is also
     commonly known as Rowan <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowan>.

But sometimes even some old Latin names existing parallel. Officially 
only one is the right one!
*Aronia **melanocarpa (=**Sorbus melanocarpa)
*
More synonym :/Aronia nigra/, /Sorbus melanocarpa/, /Pyrus melanocarpa/ 
und /Mespilus arbutifolia/ var./ melanocarpa

I am pretty sure, you are already a fan of this tree!

ciao
hans
