Slimleaf Pawpaw

Asimina longifolia, the slim-leaf pawpaw or polecat-bush, is a shrub in the custard apple family. It is native to the Southeastern United States where it is found on the coastal plain.

There are two named varieties:

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.
