and A. vulgaris var. ansu (Maxim.) Yu et Lϋ, A. vulgaris was found to have
great variability and A. vulgaris var. ansu as identified in some herbaria was
found to be a mixed group. Based on these observations, the circumscriptions of
A.  vulgaris and A.  vulgaris var.  ansu are revised and a new  species,  A.
zhidanensis C. Z. Qiao et Y. P. Zhu, is described.

Key words: Armeniaca vulgaris, A. vulgaris var. ansu, A. zhidanensis, Revision
