- The Almond ("Prunus dulcis", syn. "Prunus amygdalus Batsch.", "Amygdalus communis L.", "Amygdalus dulcis Mill.") is a species of Prunus belonging to the subfamily Prunoideae of the family Rosaceae; within Prunus, it is classified in the subgenus Amygdalus, told apart from the other subgenera by the wavy seed shell. An almond is also the seed of this tree. Botanically, the almond seed or fruit is not a true nut, but a drupe.
