Статья посвящена номенклатурной истории и анализу современного состояния знаний о дикорастущем абрикосе (Prunus armeniaca L.) на территории Казахстана. Представлен систематический обзор изменений номенклатуры вида с момента его первоначального описания К. Линнеем (1753) до современных трактовок в международных базах данных. Показано, что длительное использование названия Armeniaca vulgaris Lam. в советской флористической традиции связано с морфологическими критериями и историческими подходами к систематике Rosaceae, тогда как современные молекулярно-филогенетические исследования подтверждают необходимость объединения рода Armeniaca с Prunus sensu lato. В обзор включено детальное описание природного ареала вида в Казахстане, охватывающее Заилийский Алатау, Джунгарский Алатау, Каратау и Чу-Илийские горы. Проанализированы особенности экологических условий, пространственная структура популяций, характерные местообитания и антропогенные угрозы. Приведён обзор истории ботанического изучения вида в регионе - от первых флористических исследований XIX века до современных работ, включающих молекулярно-генетические подходы. Обозначены проблемные зоны в изученности вида: отсутствие комплексных популяционно-генетических исследований, недостаток данных по морфометрической вариабельности и динамике природных популяций. Проведённый анализ формирует основу для дальнейшего исследовательского этапа, направленного на биоэкологический и генетический анализ дикорастущих популяций P. armeniaca в Южном Казахстане.

The article is devoted to the nomenclature history and analysis of the current state of knowledge regarding wild apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) in Kazakhstan. It presents a systematic review of changes in the species’ nomenclature from its original description by C. Linnaeus (1753) to contemporary interpretations in international databases. The study shows that the prolonged use of the name Armeniaca vulgaris Lam. in the Soviet floristic tradition is linked to morphological criteria and historical approaches to Rosaceae systematics, whereas modern molecular-phylogenetic research supports the need to merge the genus Armeniaca with Prunus sensu lato. The review includes a detailed description of the species’ natural range in Kazakhstan, covering the Zailiyskiy Alatau, Dzhungarsky Alatau, Karatau, and Chu-Ili mountains. Ecological conditions, spatial population structure, characteristic habitats, and anthropogenic threats are analyzed. The article also provides an overview of the history of botanical studies of the species in the region, from early floristic research in the 19th century to recent works incorporating molecular-genetic approaches. Knowledge gaps are highlighted, including the lack of comprehensive population-genetic studies, insufficient data on morphometric variability, and the dynamics of natural populations. The analysis lays the foundation for the next research stage, aimed at the bioecological and genetic investigation of wild P. armeniaca populations in southern Kazakhstan.
