Abstract
In this chapter, the standard and basis for Prunus mume taxonomy are being discussed. According to its morphological characteristics and distribution, P. mume can be classified into two ecological categories: high-elevation and low-elevation types. Within P. mume species, there are seven varieties and one variant.
