Asimina, (from Assiminier, a French-and-Indian name). Annonaceae. Papaw (the papaw of literature is Carica, which see). Small trees or shrubs, grown chiefly for their handsome large foliage and for their attractive flowers; also sometimes for their edible fruit. Low shrubs, and 1 species a small tree: Lvs. alternate, usually deciduous, entire: fls. axillary, solitary or new, nodding, short-stalked; sepals 3, smaller than petals,deciduous; petals 6, the inner ones smaller, usually upright; stamens numerous, crowded, with short filaments; pistils 3-15, separate, 1-celled with many ovules: fr. consisting of 1 or few oval to oblong berries with rather large compressed seeds in 1 or 2 ranks.— Eight species in E. N. Amer. 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. They grow best in rich and moist soil. They transplant with difficulty. Propagation is by seeds sown in autumn, or stratified and sown in spring, or by layers in autumn; also by root-cuttings. In the North, the seeds should be sown in pots or pans. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
