Note: this study based on both morphological and molecular (nuclear (ITS) and plastid (trnL-trnF and trnS-trnG)) found that Prunus buergeriana together with P. laurocerasus - as representatives of subgenus Padus - grouped with members of subgenus Laurocerasus within a clade apart and sister to Prunus s. lat. that includes plums and apricots; it did not find support for a monophyletic subgenus Padus
