Prunus armeniaca
''Prunus armeniaca'' ("Armenian plum"), the most commonly cultivated apricot species, also called ansu apricot,〔 Siberian apricot,〔 Tibetan apricot,〔 is a species of ''Prunus'', classified with the plum in the subgenus ''Prunus''. The native range is somewhat uncertain due to its extensive prehistoric cultivation, though almost certainly somewhere in Asia. It is extensively cultivated in many countries and has escaped into the wild in many places.〔(Flora of North America, ''Prunus armeniaca'' Linnaeus, 1753.

== Description ==
''Prunus armeniaca'' is a small tree, tall, with a trunk up to in diameter and a dense, spreading canopy. The leaves are ovate, long and wide, with a rounded base, a pointed tip and a finely serrated margin. The flowers are in diameter, with five white to pinkish petals; they are produced singly or in pairs in early spring before the leaves. The fruit is a drupe similar to a small peach, diameter (larger in some modern cultivars), from yellow to orange, often tinged red on the side most exposed to the sun; its surface can be smooth (botanically described as: glabrous) or velvety with very short hairs (botanically: pubescent). The flesh is usually firm and not very juicy. Its taste can range from sweet to tart. The single seed is enclosed in a hard, stony shell, often called a "stone", with a grainy, smooth texture except for three ridges running down one side.〔Flora of China: (''Armeniaca vulgaris'' )〕〔Rushforth, K.
