Prunus trichamygdalus

Prunus trichamygdalus (Persian: بادام مخملی‎, lit. 'velvet almond') is a putative species of "wild" almond tree native to eastern Anatolia in Turkey, and nearby areas of Iran (possibly introduced).[1] Molecular and morphological analyses show that is very similar to Prunus dulcis, the cultivated almond, differing in its shorter petioles and smaller leaves with more numerous crenulations.[2] Its flowers are pink, and its fruits green. Non-bitter forms may be cultivated,[lower-alpha 1] but its native range is restricted to elevations of 1250-2100 m on limestone slopes and gorges in the Lake Van area.[3]
