2 definitions for Prunus From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :
Prunus \Pru"nus\, n. [L., a plum tree.] (Bot.)
A genus of trees with perigynous rosaceous flowers, and a
single two-ovuled carpel which usually becomes a drupe in
ripening.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Originally, this genus was limited to the plums, then,
by Linn[ae]us, was made to include the cherries and the
apricot. Later botanists separated these into several
genera, as Prunus, Cerasus, and Armeniaca, but
now, by Bentham and Hooker, the plums, cherries, cherry
laurels, peach, almond, and nectarine are all placed in
Prunus.
[1913 Webster] Prurience
From WordNet (r) 2.0 :
