Rowan, Rönn (Sorbus aucuparia)
A species of deciduous tree or shrub in the rose family. The fruit of S. aucuparia were used in the past to lure and catch birds. To humans, the fruit are bitter, astringent, laxative, diuretic and a cholagogue. They have vitamin C, so they prevent scurvy, but the parasorbic acid irritates the gastric mucosa.
