Synonyms[7] | |
Prunus eburnea is a species of wild almond native to Iran. It is a dense shrub 0.2 to 1.2 m tall with gray bark. It is morphologically similar to Prunus lycioides, P. spinosissima, P. erioclada and P. brahuica. It can be distinguished from the similar species by having a pubescent hypanthium. A genetic and morphological analysis shows that it is a good species, with its closest relative being Prunus erioclada.[7] The cross of Prunus scoparia and Prunus eburnea produces Prunus × iranshahrii.[8][a][9]
