Prunus sieboldii, Wittm. (Cerasus Sieboldii, Carr. P. Pseudo-Cerasus var. Sieboldii, Maxim. Cerasus Watereri, Hort.). Japanese Flowering Cherry. Strong-growing tree, like a sweet cherry, producing showy pink double fls. with the lvs. or just in advance of them: lvs. oval or ovate, abruptly acuminate, rounded at base, densely soft pilose beneath, the margins very sharply gland-serrate; petiole hairy, usually bearing 1 or 2 small glands at apex: fls. 1-1 1/2in. across, 2-4 on each short peduncle, the pedicels more or less pilose; calyx-tubesparsely hairy or nearly glabrous, the ovate rather obtuse entire lobes about equaling the tube; style hairy at base. Japan, China. Known only in double- fld. forms. R.H. 1866, p. 371. Gn. 33, p. 420. G.W. 16, p.355. Gt, 51:1494a. A.G. 12:400, 401.—Wilson writes that in habit and general appearance this species strongly resembles P. Lannesiana, but is distinguished by the pubescent caudate-acuminate lvs. which are sharply and often obscurely doubly serrate with small teeth: fls. double or semi-double, normally pink and preceding the foliage; if the fls. precede the lvs. the peduncle is very short, when coetaneous with the foliage the peduncle is much elongated and the fls. may then be nearly or quite white.
