Prunus subg. Prunus is a subgenus of Prunus. This subgenus include species of plum, apricot and bush cherry. As some species conventionally included in Prunus subg. Amygdalus are clustered with plum/apricot species according to molecular phylogenetic studies,[1] subg. Amygdalus has been incorporated into subg. Prunus.[2] Therefore, this subgenus also include species related to almond and peach.

Sect. Amygdalus

Most Old World almond species belong to this section, except P. mongolica, P. tangutica, P. triloba, P. pedunculata, P. tenella, P. petunnikowii and related species.[1]

Prunus arabica – Arabian wild almond
Prunus dulcis – almond
Prunus fenzliana
Prunus spinosissima – thorny almond

Sect. Armeniaca

Species in this section are true apricots, all native to Asia. The European species P. brigantina is not a true apricot.[2]

Prunus armeniaca – apricot
Prunus mandshurica – Manchurian apricot
Prunus mume – Japenese apricot
Prunus sibirica – Siberian apricot

Sect. Emplectocladus

This section includes six New World species.[3][4]

Prunus fasciculata – desert almond
Prunus cercocarpifolia
Prunus eremophila – Mojave Desert almond
Prunus havardii – Havard's wild almond
Prunus microphylla – Mexican wild almond
Prunus minutiflora – Texas wild almond

Sect. Louiseania

This section includes two Northeast Asian species. Although they are called flowering almond, they are more closely related to apricots.[1]

Prunus pedunculata
Prunus triloba

Sect. Microcerasus

Species in this section are known as bush cherries or dwarf cherries.[2]

Prunus jacquemontii
Prunus japonica
Prunus microcarpa
Prunus pogonostyla
Prunus pojarkovii

Prunus pseudoprostrata
Prunus pumila
- Prunus pumila var. besseyi[1][5]
Prunus susquehanae
Prunus tianshanica
Prunus tomentosa
Prunus verrucosa
Prunus yazdiana

Sect. Penarmeniaca

This section includes two New World species.[3][5]

Prunus andersonii – desert peach
Prunus fremontii – desert apticot

Sect. Persicae

This section includes peach species as well as two species previously considered almonds (P. mongolica and P. tangutica).[1]

Sect. Prunocerasus

This section includes New World plums and peachbush (P. texana).[1][2]

Prunus americana – American plum
Prunus angustifolia – sand plum
Prunus maritima – beach plum
Prunus mexicana – Mexican plum
Prunus nigra – Canada plum
Prunus texana – peachbush

Sect. Prunus

This section includes Old World plums, including P. brigantina.[2]

Prunus brigantina – Briançon plum
Prunus cerasifera – cherry plum
Prunus domestica – European plum
Prunus salicina – Chinese plum
Prunus simonii – apricot plum
Prunus spinosa – blackthorn

Species with uncertain taxonomic positions

Sect. Chamaeamygdalus used to be included in Amygdalus. However, molecular phylogenetic research indicates that it is polyphyletic and should be excluded from Amygdalus.[1]

Prunus tenella – Russian almond
Prunus petunnikowii
