Figure 28 Cerasus lannesiana as illustrated in 1873 by É.-A. Carrière. Because the plant resembles the Oshima cherry and most semi-double garden forms, the name lannesiana was assigned to the species by Ernest H. Wilson, although he had seen neither a herbarium specimen nor a living plant. With an article by Carrière (1872) in Revue Horticole, Wageningen University Library Special Collections.
