Functions and Benefits of Chinese Date (Jujube Fruit)

The binomial name has a curious nomenclatural history, due to a combination of botanical naming regulations, and variations in spelling. It was first named in the binomial system by Carl Linnaeus as Rhamnus zizyphus, in Species Plantarum (1753). Philip Miller, in his Gardener's Dictionary, considered that the jujube and its relatives were sufficiently distinct from Rhamnus to be placed in a separate genus (as it had already been by the pre-Linnaean author Tournefort in 1700), and in the 1768 edition he gave it the name Ziziphus jujuba (using Tournefort's spelling for the genus name). For the species name, he used a different name, as tautonyms (repetition of exactly the same name in the genus and species) are not permitted in botanical naming. However, because of Miller's slightly different spelling, the combination of the earlier species name (from Linnaeus) with the new genus, Ziziphus zizyphus, is not a tautonym, and was therefore permitted as a botanical name. This combination was made by Hermann Karsten in 1882. [5] [10] In 2006, a proposal was made to suppress the name Ziziphus zizyphus in favor of Ziziphus jujuba, [11] and this proposal was accepted in 2011. [12] Ziziphus jujuba is thus the correct scientific name for this species. Kurihara, Y. (1992). "Characteristics of antisweet substances, sweet proteins, and sweetness-inducing proteins".

[22] A hundred years ago, a close variety was common in the Jordan valley and around Jerusalem. [23] The bedouin valued the fruit, calling it nabk.
