Khosrov Forest State Reserve pear ("Pyrus"), rowan ("Sorbus"). The southern steep sunny and dry slopes are covered by juniper sparse forests. Caucasian oak ("Quercus macranthera") forests can be found at an altitude of 1600–2300 m above sea level, which are rather dense in Khosrov district of the reserve known as "Trchnaberd". Oak forests are accompanied by ash ("Fraxinus excelsior", "Fraxinus rotundifolia"), rowan ("Sorbus aucuparia"), pear ("Pyrus"), maple ("Acer") and others.

The vegetation in the forests is rich in grass (family "Poaceae" L.). Mountainous

As treated in its broad sense, the genus is divided into two main and three or four small subgenera (with more recent generic assignments in parentheses): "Sorbus" species are used as food plants by the larvae of some moth species—see list of Lepidoptera that feed on "Sorbus". "Sorbus domestica" is used to flavour some apple wines, see "Apfelwein. "Sorbus" species are cultivated as ornamental trees for parks and gardens, and have given rise to several cultivars.
