Prunus ulmifolia
Prunus ulmifolia is species of Prunus native to Central Asia.[1] It is often treated as a synonym of the East Asian species P. triloba . However, they are distinctly different in leaves, flowers and fruits.[2] P. triloba have slightly trilobed leaves, campanulate calyx tubes, unpitted stones, and fruits splitting when ripe,[3] whereas P. ulmifolia have leaves without lobes, cylindrical calyx tubes, stones finely pitted with irregularly branching furrows, and fruits not splitting.[4]
