Sorbus pseudomeinichii Sorbus pseudomeinichii Sorbus pseudomeinichii, known as false rowan and Catacol whitebeam, is a rare tree endemic to the Isle of Arran in south west Scotland. It is believed to have arisen as a hybrid of the native rowan ("Sorbus aucuparia") and the cut-leaved whitebeam ("Sorbus pseudofennica") which is in turn a rowan/Arran whitebeam ("Sorbus arranensis") hybrid. Only two specimens of the Catacol whitebeam are known, making it the rarest tree in Scotland and also the United Kingdom. A third was recorded as a sapling but is believed to have been destroyed by deer. A seedling has also been grown in
Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf the Aberdare branch of the Merthyr Line of the Transport for Wales rail network. Further to Mountain Ash railway station, the village of Fernhill and Penrhiwceiber is also served by the Aberdare line. Bus services are operated by Stagecoach in South Wales.

Having developed from an early tramway, it became in the 1970s the last core of steam locomotive operations in the UK. Developed by Powell Duffryn as
