| − | Asiminas are ornamental trees or shrubs with handsome large foliage, of disagreeable odor when bruised, conspicuous white or purplish flowers in early spring and large edible fruits in autumn. Only two species are cultivated, of which the arborescent one is the hardier and the handsomer in foliage, while the more tender A. grandiflora has larger and showier flowers.
