MULTILINGUAL MULTISCRIPT PLANT NAME DATABASE

Sorting Prunus names

Cross-index of botanical names

The names below are those found in our records only. Others can be found in the online references. At this point (2004), apart perhaps from Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb used for "almond", not a single botanical name has been universally accepted as "preferred name". Even the varieties of Prunus dulcis are not so widely cited. Generally speaking some authors favour Cerasus for cherries and Prunus for plums, others prefer to classify everything under Prunus. Then there are the disagreements on synonyms etc. The list below reflects our present understanding and may well still be wanting in parts. We welcome contributions, comments, suggestions.

Amygdalus - Armeniaca - Cerasus - Druparia - Laurocerasus - Louiseania - Padus - Persica - Prunus
