Forwarding for ID

Distributed as Sorbus aucuparia or foliolosa

Fruits seem to have bluish tinge but I can't count more than 10 pairs of leaflets (7-12 pairs in S. aucuparia, 10-15 in S. foliosa) underside of leaf (white in S. aucuparia, rusty brown in S. foliosa) would be decisive.

Many many thanks Gurcharan ji for resurfacing the query, and for the genus ID.

I think it is best to stay with genus ID of Sorbus sp. - because the photos do not show the required aspects to reach the species ID. They are long shots, due to the plant being at great distance.

Regards.

This appears close to Sorbus foliolosa (Wall.) Spach as per images and details herein.
