Prunus undulata, which goes by a number of common names including Chinese: 尖叶桂樱, lekh arupate and theiarlung,[2] is a species of laurel cherry native to southeast Asia, including Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Bangladesh, northeastern India, Myanmar, southeastern China, Aceh in Indonesia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. A tree reaching 16 m, prefers to grow alongside streams at 500 to 3600 m above sea level. A widespread and successful species, it has been repeatedly described, resulting in a plethora of synonyms. Of these, the specific epithet capricida refers to its legendary ability to poison goats who consume it.[3]
