Asimina triloba, Dunal (Annonalrtloba, Linn.). Fig. 401. Small tree, 10-40 ft. : Lvs. cunéate, obovate-oblong, acute, ½-1 ft. long, glabrous: fls. with the Lvs. from branches of the previous year, green when expanding, changing to purplish red, with yellow in the middle, 2 in. broad: fr.oblong, 2-6 in. long, dark brown. S. states, north to N. Y., west to Mich, and Kan. S.S. 1:15, 16. B.M. 6854. Gn. 33, p. 321. G.F. 8:495. A.G. 44:713. R.H. 1911, pp. 134, 135.—This is the only arborescent species of the genus. It is well worth a place in the garden, for its large foliage is very handsome and the fls., appearing in the early spring, are attractive. The large fr. is edible, and may be still improved by cult, and careful selection of the best varieties. Many persons do not relish the highly aromatic flavor; and the large seeds are a disadvantage. The tree has proved hardy in Mass, and Ont. One or 2 named forms have been offered.
