Prunus cerasifera is a species of plum known by the common names cherry plum and myrobalan plum. It is native to Southeast Europe and Western Asia, and is naturalised in the British Isles and scattered locations in North America.

This would make it a parent of most of the commercial varieties of plum in the UK and mainland Europe - Victoria, greengages, bullace etc.

Oemleria cerasiformis, a shrub commonly known as osoberry, squaw plum, Indian plum, or Indian Peach, is the sole extant species in genus Oemleria. The deciduous and perennial osoberry is one of the first plants to have its flowers bloom and leaves bud in the late winter. The shrub can grow up to 7 meters tall, with spread out branches that grow small white flowers and bitter fruit that sweeten when ripened. Osoberry is dioecious, with females producing fruit, and males producing a high reproductive biomass of pollen and flowers. Animals and insects aid in internal animal dispersion of seeds and pollination.

Prunus simonii, called apricot plum and Simon plum, is a tree in the genus Prunus. It was first described by Elie-Abel Carrière in 1872 and is native to Hebei province, China.
