Prunus × dasycarpa
Prunus × dasycarpa, called purple apricot and black apricot (Chinese: zi xing), is a species of tree. It is in the genus Prunus in the rose family, Rosaceae. The species was named by Jakob Friedrich Ehrhart in 1791.[1] The buds are reddish-orange, and the flower blossoms are white. It is likely a hybrid of P. armeniaca × P. cerasifera (i.e., an apricot–cherry plum cross).[2] There is disagreement about whether this is a human-cultivated cross or a naturally occurring cross from Western Asia.[1][3][4]
