Prunus sect. Prunus is a section of Prunus subg. Prunus. It contains species of Eurasian plum.^[1]

Species

Species in this section includes:^[2]^[3]

Prunus bokhariensis^[4]
Prunus cerasifera – cherry plum
Prunus cocomilia – Italian plum, cuckoo's apple
Prunus consociiflora^[4]^[5] – Hubei plum
Prunus darvasica – Darwaz plum
Prunus divaricata^[2] – wild cherry plum
Prunus domestica – European plum
Prunus ramburii – sloe of Sierra Nevada (Spanish: endrino de Sierra Nevada)
Prunus salicina – Chinese plum, Japanese plum
Prunus simonii – apricot plum
Prunus sogdiana^[2] – Sogdian plum
Prunus spinosa – sloe
Prunus tadzhikistanica – Tajik plum
Prunus ursina^[2] – bear's plum
Prunus ussuriensis^[2] – Manchurian plum
Prunus vachuschtii – alucha

Hybrid species (some of them are hybrids with species of other sections):

Prunus × blireiana – double-flowering plum (P. cerasifera × P. mume)
Prunus × cistena – purple-leaf sand cherry (P. cerasifera × P. pumila）
Prunus × ferganica – Fergana plum (P. divaricata × P. ulmifolia)
Prunus × foveata – pitted-stone plum
Prunus × fruticans (P. spinosa × P. insititia)
Prunus × macedonica – Macedonian plum (P. cerasifera × P. cocomilia)
Prunus × rossica – Russian plum (P. cerasifera × P. salicina)
Prunus × simmleri^[6] (P. cerasifera × P. spinosa)

The taxonomic position of P. brigantina is disputed. It is grouped with species of Prunus sect. Prunus according to chloroplast DNA sequences,^[2] but more closely related to species of Prunus sect. Armeniaca according to nuclear DNA sequences.^[7]
