Abstract: In present paper,a new distribution area is reported,C.claviculata Yu et Li is examined to be a synonym of C.dilichadenia(Card.)X.R.Wang et Shang, and C.cerasoides var.campanulata(Koidz.)X.R.Wang et Shang was newly combined.(1).Cerasus dolichadenia(Card.)X.R.Wang et Shang,comb.nov.In Flora of China,there are no records about Prunus dolichdenia Card.,but based on the type and description,Cerasus claviculata Yu et Li pubulished in 1985 by Prof. Yu and Li is examined to be the same species as Prunus dolichadenia Card.,the same characters are:long-stick glands on leaf,stipule and bracts margine; flowers opening with leaves; petal being 1/3 long of calyx. Moreover Shanxi and Shaaxi,the distribution area of C.claviculata Yu et Li, is linked by Shaanxi to Sichuan province (the type locality of Prunus dolichadenia Card.),So Cerasus claviculata Yu et Li is a synonym of Prunus dolichadenia Card.(2).Cerasus jamasakura (Sieb.ex Koidz.)X.R.Wang et Shang,comb.nov.This species is similar to Cerasus serrulata Lindl.and usually named as the same species,but the difference from C.serrulata Lindl.is outstanding:young leaves green-brown to reddishbrown, teeth shallower; calyx,petal and pedicel purplish-red; calyx long-tube,petal only 1/3 long of calyx. So this species is distinghished from C.serrulata Lindl.easily.And Prunus pseudo-cerasus,spontanea Maxim. combined as Prunus serrulata var.spontanea(Maxim.)by Wilson(1916), is a synonym of this species.Moreover this species distribution is usually considered in Japan.But the new records in Fujian and Jiangxi province are found in China.(3).Cerasus cerasoides (D.Don)var. campanulata(Koidz.)X.R.Wang et Shang,comb.nov.Prunus campanulata Maxim.was first described by Maximowicz in 1883,in 1910 was reduced as the variety P.cerasoides var. campanulata Koidz.(1910),but later it was changed over and over again. In Flora of China,it was as Cerasus campanulata(Maxim.)Yu et Li(1985).This variety is very closely related to C.cerasoides D.Don,the main diffirence from C.cerasoides D.Don is blooming before leaves,but the early or late blooming in this Genus is changable with the varied climate.C.cerasoides D.Don blooming before leaves also in lower elevation sometimes. So we think that C.campanulata Maxim. reduced as the variety of C.cerasoides D.Don is reasonable.
