## Subfamily Amygdaloideae
### Tribe Neillieae
#### Physocarpus

* Physocarpus opulifoliusNinebark (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. The genus also has a single Asian species. Physocarpus opulifolius is considered to be introduced in most of New England.

### Tribe Amygdaleae

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

#### Prunus

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

* 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

* Prunus virginianaPrunus 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.
