I received my Winter Pomona yesterday and found that an excerpt from my book Plums of North America had some of the species names changed from what I sent in. On page 10 and 11 you will see the excerpt from the book. On the South Dakota State University introductions it should have read(and as it appears in the book):
 

Some of the introductions from this program:

Prunus besseyi x Prunus americana – Sansoto and Cheresoto.

Prunus besseyi x Prunus salicina – Opata, Sapa and Oka.

Prunus besseyi x Prunus armeniaca (apricot) – all the resulting seedlings were shy bearers.

Prunus besseyi x Prunus persia (peach) – Kamdesa (a sterile variety).

Prunus americana x Prunus simonii – Toka, Hanska and Kaga.

Prunus simonii x Prunus americana – Tokata.

Prunus salicina x Prunus americana – Waneta, Kahinta, Tawena, Oziya and Tecumseh.

Prunus americana x Prunus salicina – The reciprocal of the previous cross had yielded several choice hybrids.

Prunus nigra x Prunus salicina – Cree and Pembina.

Prunus salicina x Prunus nigra – Ojibwa.

Prunus nigra pure selections – Assiniboin and Winnipeg.

Other varieties: Tokeya (P. besseyi hybrid), Yuteca and Cikana.
