Abstract
The paper treats the botanical positions of the new fruit groups of the commercial categories plumcots, pluots and aprium.
An appropriate proposal was made for giving concrete taxonomic names and assigning the separate groups of plum-apricot hybrids to concrete systematic ranks.
Adopting the results of the analyses by botanists and geneticists will determine and fix the concrete interspecific origin of the hybrids.
The phonetically substantiated names of the new botanical species obviously show which of the parent species is positioned as a father parent and which as a mother parent.
Thus the plum and the apricot species participating directly in hybridization are specified.
It is logical to form the Latin name of each new taxon, rendering an account of the harmonious phonetic sounding, by blending syllables of the mother taxon first, followed by a part of the Latin name of the father taxon, e.g., Armeniaca × Domestica Armestica.
