Scientific Names

Read about Cerasus in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Cerasus (from Cerasunt or Cerasonte, a place in Asia Minor on the Black Sea, whence cherries are said to have been brought to Italy before Christ). Cherry. Rosaceae. Tournefort in 1700 founded the genus Cerasus, but by general usage it is now combined with Prunus inasmuch as no single important character holds clearly between the two groups. The name is sometimes kept distinct in trade lists, representing the cherries as distinct from the plums. Botanically, the group is distinguished from Prunus proper (the plum group) in having conduplicate vernation (young lvs. with the halves folded together) rather than involute vernation, fls. more characteristically in umbels or racemes, fr. mostly lacking bloom and pubescence, and the stone not corrugated or pitted. See Prunus. L. H. B. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
