Two pears

The Kazakh (endangered) and Cossoni at the Botanics. Couple of extras - Sorbus torminalis (the wild service tree) and Japanese Hosta Montana.

From Wikipedia: The tree's Latin name, torminalis means "good for colic".

‘In The Complete Book of British Berries, David C Lang writes that the name service-tree derives from the Latin word for beer, cerevisia, because the Romans used the fruit of the related true-service tree (Sorbus domestica) to flavour beer.’
