Prunus elaeagrifolia (Persian: ارژن) is a species of wild almond native to Iran. It is shrub or small tree 3-4 m tall, with the gray bark of its older twigs peeling in places and showing a brownish-yellow underbark. Its leaves are densely pubescent, with the pubescence yellowish gray.[3] It is mostly found in the southern portion of the Zagros Mountains, where in places it is one of the dominant tree species. Its 2n=16 chromosomes have karyotypic formula 7m+t.[4][5]
Notes
- ^ Spach published it as Amygdalus elaeagrifolia in his 1843 monograph, and repeated that spelling in Jaubert's Illustrationes plantarum orientalium, which he helped edit. He seems to have meant elaeagrifolia, "wild olive-leaved"; from elaea, "olive tree"; agrios, "wild". It appears that subsequent writers thought he had made a typographic error and "corrected" the epithet to elaeagnifolia, meaning "pure olive-leaved"; from agnos, "pure".
