Family Rosaceae (cont'd)

The grouping of the Rosaceae (rose family) taxa used here is based on the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website,^[1] Eriksson (2003),^[2] and Longhi (2014).^[3] The subfamilies Rosoideae and Amygdaloideae are present in New York.

Subfamily Amygdaloideae[edit | edit source]

Tribe Neillieae[edit | edit source]

Physocarpus[edit | edit source]

Ninebark (Physocarpus), named for the shape (the figure '9') formed by its peeling bark, is primarily a North American genus, with a handful of species native to western North America and a single species (Physocarpus opulifolius) native to eastern North America.^[1] The genus also has a single Asian species. Physocarpus opulifolius is considered to be introduced in most of New England.

Tribe Amygdaleae[edit | edit source]

The Amygdaleae contains cherries, plums, and peaches, all three of which are in the genus Prunus.

Prunus[edit | edit source]

The genus Prunus contains about 200 species worldwide, with about 44 in North America^[1] and 22 in New York State.^[2] It is here separated into three subgenera:^[3]

subgenus Cerasus (cherries):
- section Laurocerasus
- section Cerasus
subgenus Prunus (plums):
- section Penarmeniaca (native sandcherries)
- section Prunocerasus (New World plums)
- section Prunus (Old World plums)
subgenus Amygdalus (peaches).

Prunus subg. Cerasus[edit | edit source]

The subgenus Cerasus contains the cherries, three of which (black cherry, chokecherry, and pin cherry) are native to New York State. About five Eurasian cherry species have been found to have naturalized in New York, and two of those (sweet cherry and sour cherry) are considered to be moderately invasive. Black cherry is the only member of the Rosaceae that has significant value as a timber resource.

Prunus subg. Cerasus sect. Laurocerasus[edit | edit source]

Prunus subgenus Cerasus section Laurocerasus can be identified by 12–64(–90)-flowered inflorescences, in racemes with central axis lengths 4–25 times pedicel lengths. Leaves are deciduous with the racemes leafy at their bases.^[1]

Tribe Sorbarieae[edit | edit source]

Sorbaria[edit | edit source]

False spiraea (Sorbaria sorbifolia) gets its specific epithet from the similarity of its leaves to those of the genus Sorbus (mountain-ash), while it gets its common name of course from its similarity to the genus Spiraea. It seems to spread easily from cultivation, though there are claims of a cultivar without such invasive tendencies.

Tribe Gillenieae[edit | edit source]

Gillenia[edit | edit source]

The genus name Gillenia was published in the early 1800s, but was changed to Porteranthus by Britton in 1893 to avoid confusion with a similar genus name. Recent interpretations of naming rules have caused the accepted name to be switched back to Gillenia.
