agree  Juan Jacob: Sí, supongo que quisieron abarcar todos los nombres de la misma fruta. En México, durazno. A veces, chabacano. En España, melocotón.

Explanation:
apricot and peaches are stone fruits

the stones are the hard part which encloses the softer kernel

apricot kernels are inside the stones - they are not the same as bitter almonds; they are used e.g. for flavouring Amaretto in Italy
