Prunus subcorymbosa is a species of tree in the family Rosaceae, and is native to montane forests from Costa Rica and Venezuela to northern Peru. [2] [3] [4]
Rosaceae, the rose family, is a medium-sized family of flowering plants, including 4,828 known species in 91 genera.
Amygdaloideae is a subfamily within the flowering plant family Rosaceae. It was formerly considered by some authors to be separate from Rosaceae, and the family names Prunaceae and Amygdalaceae have been used. Reanalysis from 2007 has shown that the previous definition of subfamily Spiraeoideae was paraphyletic. To solve this problem, a larger subfamily was defined that includes the former Amygdaloideae, Spiraeoideae, and Maloideae. This subfamily, however, is to be called Amygdaloideae rather than Spiraeoideae under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants as updated in 2011.
Prunus is a genus of trees and shrubs, which includes the fruits plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and almonds.
Prunus subg. Padus is a subgenus of Prunus, characterised by having racemose inflorescences. Padus was originally a distinct genus, but genetic and morphological studies have shown that Padus is polyphyletic. It has been proposed that all the racemose taxons within Prunus are incorporated into a broad-sense Prunus subg. Padus. However, this broad-sense Prunus subg. Padus is not monophyletic either. Therefore, better infrageneric classification is needed for the racemose species in Prunus.
Prunus serotina, commonly called black cherry, wild black cherry, rum cherry, or mountain black cherry, is a deciduous tree or shrub of the genus Prunus. Despite being called black cherry, it is not very closely related to the commonly cultivated cherries such as sweet cherry, sour cherry and Japanese flowering cherries which belong to Prunus subg. Cerasus. Instead, P. serotina belongs to Prunus subg. Padus, a subgenus also including Eurasian bird cherry and chokecherry. The species is widespread and common in North America and South America.
Prunus arborea is a species of plant in the family Rosaceae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
Prunus guanaiensis is a species of tree in the family Rosaceae. It is native to western South America. Its phenotype suggests close affinity with three other South American species of Prunus; P. debilis, P. littlei and P. wurdackii.
Prunus villegasiana is a species of plant in the family Rosaceae. It is endemic to Colombia. It is most likely a synonym of Prunus subcorymbosa or Prunus integrifolia.
Prunus occidentalis is a plant in the family Rosaceae of the order Rosales.
Prunus gentryi is a species of wild cherry in the genus Prunus, family Rosaceae, native to the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora. It grows along streambanks in mountainous regions of the Sierra Madre Occidental. The scientific description was published in 1937.
Prunus havardii, called Havard's wild almond or Havard's plum, is a rare North American species of shrub tree native to western Texas in the United States and to northern Chihuahua across the Río Grande in Mexico. It is in the genus Prunus in the rose family, Rosaceae.
Prunus buxifolia is a species of tree in the rose family, Rosaceae. It is endemic to Colombia, where it is called chuwacá.
Prunus huantensis is a South American tree native to mountain forests of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. It may be a synonym of Prunus brittoniana.
Prunus integrifolia is a tree native to mountain forests of western South America. It has much larger leaves than most other species in the genus, up to 25 cm long, with no teeth along the edges. Flowers are in an elongated raceme, rising vertically upwards rather than hanging as in some other species
Prunus cortapico is a species of tree in the family Rosaceae, and is native to Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador.
Prunus debilis is a South American species of Prunus. Its phenotype suggests close affinity with three other South American species of Prunus; P. littlei, P. guanaiensis and P. wurdackii. The Jivaro people chew the pulp of its fruit to alleviate the pain of toothaches.
Prunus littlei is a species of tree in the family Rosaceae. It is native to mountain forests of northwestern South America. Its phenotype suggests close affinity with three other South American species of Prunus; P. debilis, P. guanaiensis and P. wurdackii.
Prunus reflexa is a species of tree in the family Rosaceae. It is native to South America.
Prunus hainanensis is a species of cherry endemic to Hainan province, China. It is very similar to Prunus campanulata and grows only at 900-1200 m in the Hainan Bawangling National Nature Reserve. It has pink flowers and, accordingly, some potential as an ornamental.
Prunus wurdackii is a species of Prunus found only on the slopes of tepuis of the Chimantá Massif in Venezuela, at 900 to 2200 m in elevation. Judging from its morphology, it is closely related to Prunus espinozana, described in the same publication. It is a tree 3 to 15 m tall, with branchlets that are brown tending to black. It differs from Prunus littlei, another close relative, in having thicker, more leathery and more lustrous leaves, with longer petioles. Its solitary inflorescences, by contrast, have shorter pedicels and shorter styles. Its calyx is salmon-colored, and the petals white.
