Dunnaria dunnii is a species of flowering plant in the rose family, Rosaceae. It is a tree native to southern China. It is the sole species in genus Dunnaria.
It is distinguished from other Sorboids (Sorbus and relatives) by leaves which are silvery hairy (tomentose) on the undersides with rufous hairs on veins, and by flowers/fruits in corymbs.[2]
The species was first described as Sorbus dunnii by Alfred Rehder in 1915. In 2015 Keith Rushforth placed it in the new monotypic genus Dunnaria as D. dunnii.[1]
