Prunus pedunculata is a species of Prunus known in China as long‑peduncled almond (长梗扁桃). It is native to China (particularly the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), Mongolia and nearby sections of Siberia. A small bush, reaching 1-2 m, its pink flowers allow it to be used as an ornamental. Adapted to cold, arid environments, its many‑stemmed growth habit fixes blowing sand, an important contribution to succession.[1] As Amygdalus pedunculatus Pall., it seems to be being evaluated for its seed oil potential.[2][3]

Chinese researchers appear to (mis)associate Amygdalus pedunculata/pedunculatus with two very distinct phenotypes: Liu, Jiang-Qun; Yin, Ming-Yu; Zuo, Si-Yu; Yang, Shao-Bing; Wuyun, Tana (10 October 2017). "Phenotypic variations in natural populations of Amygdalus pedunculata". Chinese Journal of Plant Ecology. 41 (10): 1091–1102. doi:10.17521/cjpe.2017.0104.
