Prunus discolor is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to the eastern Aegean Islands, Turkey, and Syria.^[2] A shrub, it is found in Quercus-dominated scrublands and rocky hillsides, typically on limestone soils.^[3] It is easily distinguished from all other Prunus species by its leaves, which are densely silvery-white tomentose on their abaxial (under) sides, and dark green and glabrous on the adaxial (upper) sides.^[3]
