Amelanchier lamarckii

Amelanchier lamarckii, also called juneberry, serviceberry or shadbush, is a large deciduous flowering shrub or small tree in the family Rosaceae. It is widely naturalised in Europe, where it is known as snowy mespilus (a name which is also attached to the related A. ovalis) or snowy mespil. The European plants are descendants of plants originally from eastern North America; there has been some escape also in North America of plants apparently secondarily derived from those European forms. The Latin specific epithet Lamarckii honors the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829).
