The almond (Prunus amygdalus, syn. Prunus dulcis) is a species of tree native to Iran and surrounding countries[4] and ancient remains of almonds were discovered in the Levant area.[5] The almond is also the name of the edible and widely cultivated seed of this tree. Within the genus Prunus, it is classified with the peach in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by corrugations on the shell (endocarp) surrounding the seed.[6]
杏仁 (Prunus amygdalus, syn. Prunus dulcis) 是一种原产于伊朗和周边国家的树种[4]，在黎凡特地区发现了古老的杏仁遗骸。 [5]杏仁也是这棵树的可食用和广泛栽培的种子的名称。在李属中，它与杏仁亚属中的桃子分类，通过种子周围的壳（内果皮）上的波纹来区分其他亚属。 [6]
