Apricot
From Armeniapedia.org
The apricot (Prunus armeniaca or Armenian plum in Latin, syn. Armeniaca vulgaris, Armenian: Ծիրան, Chinese: 杏子) is a fruit-bearing tree, thought to be native to China and spread to Europe through Armenia. It is classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus of the Prunus genus.
The apricot is native to the Armenian Highland. It came to be known throughout the ancient world as the Armenian fruit. Its botanical name Prunus armeniaca, derives from the Latin vernacular for apricot, armeniacum, which some scholars have linked to its Akkadian name armanu. [1]
