This is the only species of the true Cherries cultivated in China for its 

 fruit. It is probably native on the mountains of Chili and Honan and 

 elsewhere it occurs only as a cultivated tree. Meyer's no. 1171 differs 

 from the other specimens in the leaves being pilose on the veins beneath 

 and short-pilose above when young, but the greater development of pubes- 

 cence may be due to the fact that the specimen consists of a vigorous 

 shoot.
