 Peach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Peach (Prunus persica) is a tree native to China that bears a juicy fruit of the same name.
The scientific name persica derives from an early European belief that peaches were native to Persia (now Iran).
The modern botanical consensus is that they originate in China, and were introduced to Persia and the Mediterranean region along the Silk Road in early historical times, probably by about 2000 BC (Huxley et al.

 Persica and Carthamus: Herbs Paired for Treatment of Blood Stasis
Persica is none other than the inner kernel of the common peach (Prunus persica), known in China as tao (ren = seed).
Most often, persica was combined with rhubarb to treat stagnation in the lower abdomen that produced a syndrome of cold in the lower body (e.g., cold feet) and heat in the upper body (causing, among other symptoms, severe mental distress), with abdominal pain and possible formation of lumps.
Persica is mainly used to treat blood stasis, a syndrome thought to involve blood that has congealed and become inactive; this occurs in the lower abdomen most frequently, but in the abdominal organs generally, as a result of inhibited circulation of qi and blood.

Interpretive Summary: Prunus ferganensis, a close relative of the cultivated peach (Prunus persica), is native to arid regions of central Asia and may possess traits valuable for improving drought tolerance of commercial peach varieties.
We looked at many plant responses related to water stress Although the long-vein trait per se was not associated with superior drought tolerance, the leaf size and leaf thickness traits of P. ferganensis may be incorporated into peach by use of this species in breeding programs.
Technical Abstract: Prunus ferganensis, a close relative of the cultivated peach (Prunus persica), is native to arid regions of central Asia and may possess traits valuable for improving drought tolerance of commercial peach varieties.

 Red Ceylon Peach
The peach, Prunus Persica Batsch, is not ordinarily included among tropical or subtropical fruits.
It is grown mainly in temperate regions of the world, including North America from the mild-temperate areas of Nova Scotia and the Ontario peninsula close to the Great Lakes, to north-central Florida, and across the Gulf States to California.
In 1904, this cultivar was planted at the agricultural experiment station at Santiago de Las Vegas, Cuba, and was soon being grown all around the Havana area because it was the only peach found suitable to that tropical climate and the local soils.

Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by contact between plants; transmitted by seed (to over 80% in Prunus pennsylvanica but much less in peach); transmitted by pollen to the seed and transmitted by pollen to the pollinated plant.
Virions of prunus necrotic ringspot virus share some serological determinants with those of apple mosaic.

 AllRefer.com - peach, Plant (Plants) - Encyclopedia
peach, fruit tree (Prunus persica) of the family Rosaceae (rose family) having decorative pink blossoms and a juicy, sweet drupe fruit.
The peach appears to have originated in China, where it was mentioned in literature several centuries before Christ.
The peach is closely related to other species of Prunus : e.g., the cherry, plum, and almond : of which Darwin thought the peach was an ancient variety.
