Amelanchier lamarckii, commonly known as juneberry, is form of serviceberry shrub. It has white flowers that are star-shaped. Its young berry-like pome fruits are dark-red when young, but become dark-purple when ripe. The fruits are edible and have an apple and sweet flavor. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant. This form is presumed to be of hybrid origin[citation needed] (A. laevis and either A. arborea or A. canadensis) and therefore under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature it would be known as Amelanchier × lamarckii.
