1. Armeniaea, Linn. {Armeniaea vulgAris, Lam.). 

 Common Apricot. Pigs. 113-117. Small round-topped 

 tree with reddish bark much like that of the peach tree: 

 Ivs. ovate to round-ovate, sometimes slightly cordate at 

 the base, abruptly short - pointed, glabrous (at least 

 above), closely serrate, the stalks stout and gland -bear- 

 ing: lis. pinkish, solitary and sessile or very nearly so, 

 appearing from lateral buds of last year's growth 

 (sometimes on short year-old spurs) before the Ivs.: fr. 

 variable, nearly smooth when ripe, short-stalked like a 

 peach, usually somewhat flattened, mostly yellow and 

 overlaid more or less with red. the stone flat and smooth, 

 ridged or sulcate on one edge. Said by Focke to be 

 native of Turkestan and Mongolia; by some regarded 

 as Chinese. It early reached Europe, where it was once 

 supposed to be native of Armenia, whence the name 

 Armeniaea. The Russian Apricot is a hardy race of 

 this species. See Apricot and Figs. 113-117 in Vol. I. 

 The smooth-fruited Apricot. P. Brigantiaca, Vill., is 

 reganled by Dippel as a form of this species, var. 

 Brigantiaca, Dipp. Shrub or small tree, with smaller 

 Ivs. and smaller smooth subacid fruit. Probably a cul- 

 tural variety. Run wild in southern France and Pied-

3. dasyc&rpa, Ehrh. (P. Armeniaea, var. dasycarpa, 

 K. Kocb). Purple or Black Apricot. Small tree, of 

 the stature of the common Apricot: Ivs. smaller and 

 narrower, mostly elliptic-ovate, finely and closely ser- 

 rate, thin, dull green, the stalks slender and nearly or 

 quite glandless: fls. large and long-stalked, showy: fr. 

 globular and plum-like on a distinct stem, pubescent at

 mostly smaller than that of P. Armeniaea. yellow or

 Japan, where it is much grown for its flowers. Gn.

 South, particularly in the form known as Bungo or 

 Bongoume Apricot or plum, but of minor value. When 

 top-worked on plum, it withstands the winters of cen-
