Amygdaloideae
From eagle-rock.org
Amygdaloideae (incorrectly called Prunoideae) is a subfamily within the flowering plant family Rosaceae. It was formerly considered by some authors to be separate from Rosaceae, and the family names Prunaceae and Amygdalaceae have been used. Commercially, important members of the Amygdaloideae include plum, cherry, apricot, peach, and almond. The fruit of these plants are known as stone fruit (a drupe), as each fruit contains a hard shell (the endocarp) called a stone or pit, which contains the single seed.
