Some species of this genus, in particular Sorbaria sorbifolia , in the Russian-language literature were attributed to the genus Spiraeus [3] .
Etymology
The genus name comes from the Latin name of the genus Sorbus ( mountain ash ), since the leaves of many species of mountain ash are similar to the leaves of mountain ash .
Biological description
Deciduous shrubs , up to 3 meters tall. They form thickets due to their strong spring-throwing ability. Most species produce abundant root shoots, forming dense, very spectacular thickets.
Shoots are yellowish-gray, elbow-twisted.
Leaves are complex, pinnate, simple or double-blade.
The flowers are small, white or creamy-white, numerous, gathered in large conical pyramidal panicles.
Fruits - leaflets.

Economic value and application
In culture as ornamental plants from the middle of the XVIII century. Growing fast. The soil is undemanding, but better development is achieved on well-drained and moist soils. Take out a little shading. Abundant flowering, up to 30 days. Propagated by seeds, root and green cuttings, cut immediately after flowering, offspring. Seeds are sown in spring without pre-treatment on wet soil. Use in single and group plantings, to create edges and underbrush, to fix slopes and ravines. Valued for long-term flowering and early deployment of leaves. In central Russia cultivate the fowl of Felted , treelike , Pallas and ash-leaved [5] .
