We have relatives of the rowan tree native here in the Northwest. They are in the genus Sorbus along with the rowan tree, but we tend to call all the trees, including the rowan tree mountain ash. They all have bright orange berries that are rather bitter and said to be toxic. Being a bit of a botanist, I figured sorbic acid is named after the genus Sorbus, which I confirmed on line.
