Asimina triloba
''Asimina triloba'', the pawpaw, paw paw, paw-paw, or common pawpaw, is a species of ''Asimina'' (the pawpaw genus) in the same plant family (the Annonaceae) as the custard-apple, cherimoya, sweetsop, ylang-ylang and soursop. The pawpaw is native to the Eastern, Southern, and Midwestern United States and adjacent southernmost Ontario, Canada, from New York west to southeastern Nebraska, and south to northern Florida and eastern Texas. The pawpaw is a patch-forming (clonal) understory tree found in well-drained, deep, fertile bottom-land and hilly upland habitat, with large, simple leaves and large fruits. The paw paw is the largest edible fruit indigenous to the United States.〔
==Names==
This plant's scientific name is ''Asimina triloba.'' The genus name ''Asimina'' is adapted from the Native American (probably Miami-Illinois) name ''assimin'' or ''rassimin'' through the French colonial ''asiminier.'' The epithet ''triloba'' in the species' scientific name refers to the flowers' three-lobed calices and doubly three-lobed corollas,〔 the shape not unlike a tricorne hat.
The common name of this species is variously spelled pawpaw, paw paw, paw-paw, and papaw. It probably derives from the Spanish ''papaya,'' an American tropical fruit (''Carica papaya'') sometimes also called "papaw", perhaps because of the superficial similarity of their fruits. (In some parts of the world, such as Australia and New Zealand,the name Paw Paw is commonly used for a variety of Papaya.) ''Asimina triloba'' has had numerous local common names including: ''wild banana'', ''prairie banana'', ''Indiana banana'', ''Hoosier banana'', ''West Virginia banana'', ''Kansas banana'', ''Kentucky banana'', ''Michigan banana'', ''Missouri banana'', ''the poor man’s banana'', ''Ozark banana'', and ''banango''.
