Asimina longifolia, the slimleaf pawpaw, is a shrub in the custard apple family. It is native to the Southeastern United States where it is found on the coastal plain. Its preferred habitat is dry, sandy pinelands.[2]
A. longifolia var. longifolia - Only found in Florida and Georgia.
A. longifolia var. spatulata - Found from southern Alabama to southern South Carolina.
It is unclear if the two varieties should be considered distinct species. This group is in need of further taxonomic study.
Descriptionedit
