Annonaceae
The Annonaceae are a Family (biology), family of flowering plants consisting of trees, shrubs, or rarely lianas commonly known as the custard apple family or soursop family. With 108 accepted genera and about 2400 known species, it is the largest family in the Magnoliales. Several genera produce edible fruit, most notably ''Annona'', ''Anonidium'', ''Asimina'', ''Rollinia'', and ''Uvaria''. Its type genus is ''Annona''. The family is concentrated in the tropics, with few species found in temperate regions. About 900 species are Neotropical, 450 are Afrotropical, and the remaining are Indomalayan. Description The species are mostly tropical, some are mid-latitude, deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs, with some lianas, with aromatic bark, leaves, and flowers. ; Stems, stalks and leaves: Bark is fibrous and aromatic. Pith septate (fine tangential bands divided by partitions) to diaphragmed (divided by thin partitions with openings in them). Branching distichous (arranged in two ...

Uvaria
''Uvaria'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Annonaceae. The generic name ''Uvaria'' is derived from the Latin ''uva'', 'grape', because the fruit of some species in the genus resemble grapes. Species are distributed throughout the Old World tropics. Description Species in this genus are lianas or climbing shrubs. They are woody and without hooks or spines, but almost all parts have stellate (star-shaped) hairs. Other shared features include bisexual flowers (i.e. having functional male and female parts in each flower), sepals connected edge to edge (valvate), petals overlapping (imbricate) and arranged in two whorls, pollen grains solitary, and fruit. Taxonomy The genus ''Uvaria'' was erected by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 to accommodate two new species – '' '' (the type species) and ''U. japonica'' (now '' Kadsura japonica''). By 2009, the genus contained about 150–190 species and was considered to be paraphyletic. In that year, Zhou et al published a study that ...

Rollinia
''Rollinia'' is a genus of plants in the family Annonaceae. While it is widely recognised as a distinct genus a monograph published in 2006 advocates its inclusion in ''Annona'',Rainer, H. (2006)Monographic studies in the genus ''Annona'' L. (Annonaceae): Inclusion of the genus ''Rollinia'' A. St.-Hil.''Annalen des Naturhistorischen Museums in Wien. Serie B für Botanik und Zoologie'', 191-205. which also contains custard apples and soursops. Some ''Rollinia'' species produce edible fruits, such as biriba (''Rollinia deliciosa''). The flavor of the fruit is similar to that of a lemon meringue pie. Ripe fruit is very soft and easily bruised, and cannot be stored for long periods of time. It is usually eaten fresh, but it is also occasionally used in Brazil to make wine. Rollinia deliciosa, Biriba trees are small to medium in size, and require humid, tropical growing conditions. The fruit is round, ripening from green to yellow, and the skin is covered with small projections tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Asimina
''Asimina'' is a genus of small trees or shrubs described as a genus in 1763. ''Asimina'' is the only temperate genus in the tropical and subtropical flowering plant family Annonaceae. ''Asimina'' have large, simple leaves and large fruit. It is native to eastern North America and collectively referred to as pawpaw. The genus includes the widespread common pawpaw ''Asimina triloba,'' which bears the largest edible fruit indigenous to the United States. Pawpaws are native to 26 states of the U.S. and to Ontario in Canada. The common pawpaw is a cloning, patch-forming (clonal) understory tree found in well-drained, deep, fertile bottomland and hilly upland habitat. Pawpaws are in the same plant family (Annonaceae) as the custard apple, cherimoya, Sugar-apple, sweetsop, soursop, and ylang-ylang; the genus is the only member of that family not confined to the tropics. Fossils date to the Cretaceous. Names The genus name ''Asimina'' was first described and named by Michel Adanson, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sugar-apple
''Annona squamosa'' is a small, well-branched tree or shrub from the family Annonaceae that bears edible fruits called sugar apples or sweetsops or custard apples. It tolerates a tropical lowland climate better than its relatives '' Annona reticulata'' and '' Annona cherimola'' (whose fruits often share the same name) helping make it the most widely cultivated of these species. Annona squamosa is semi-(or late) deciduous, and tall similar to soursop (''Annona muricata''). It is native of tropical climate in the Americas and West Indies, and Spanish traders aboard the Manila galleons docking in the Philippines brought it to Asia. The fruit is spherical-conical, in diameter and long, and weighing , with a thick rind composed of knobby segments. The colour is typically pale green through blue-green, with a deep pink blush in certain varieties, and typically has a bloom. It is unique among ''Annona'' fruits in being segmented; the segments tend to separate when ripe, exposing t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
