Prunus triloba, Lindl. (Amygdalus pedunculata, Bunge. Amygdalopsis Lindleyi, Carr. Prunopsis Lindleyi, Andre. Prunus ulmifolia. Franch.). Flowering Almond. (See Nos. 39, 40.) Fig. 3227. Lvs. broadly ovate orobovate, usually broadest above the middle, soft- hairy, abruptly pointed, coarsely doubly serrate, tending to be 3-lobed above: fls. solitary, short-pedicelled, and mostly in advance of the lvs., clear pink, sometimes white, usually double (var. plena, Hort. Fig. 3234); calyx-tube hairy inside between stamens, the sepals pilose or glabrous on outside; sepals and petals (in single fls.) 5-10: fr. small, red-hairy when young, but becoming glabrous. China. B.M. 8061. I.H. 8:308. F.S.15:1532. R.H. 1862:91; 1870, p. 388 (fr.); 1883, p. 367 (fr.); 1884:396; 1907, pp. 154, 155. Gn. 21, p. 275; 28:346; 55, p. 374; 59, p. 135; 79, p. 17. G.M. 44:210; 52: 247. G. 26:462; 33:19. H.F. II. 7:139. Gng. 5:165; 6:289; 8:196.—A most desirable bush, hardy in Cent. N. Y. and Ont. It is a good subject for blooming in pots. It is sometimes grown as a standard worked on plum, but it is then short-lived; better results are to be expected from own-rooted plants (by layering or root-grafting). Sometimes it rises to the stature of a small tree. The double-fld. form (var. plena) is the one commonly seen in grounds, but the single-fld. form is the better. A sport producing several pistils has been recorded (Amygdalopsis). Not to be confounded with the forms of P. japonica and P. glandulosa, which have smaller and relatively longer- stalked fls. and usually more than 1 from the bud, and different lvs. Var. Petzoldii, Bailey (P. Pet- zoldii, Koch. P. virgata, Hort.). Branchlets and adult foliage glabrous: lvs. ovate or elliptic, usually at or below the middle, not 3-lobed, gradually narrowed or acuminate above, glabrous, with narrow sharp teeth: fls. smaller than in P. triloba and with shorter pedicel, rose-colored; calyx- tube glabrous inside as are the lobes or sepals on the outside, the sepals and petals usually 10: fr. spherical; stone hard, bony and more rugose. Probably China. CH
