A common pawpaw of flatwoods and sandhills throughout most of the Florida peninsula and also in Georgia.
The woody stems are branched and grow to over one meter tall (~3 ft.) but more frequently shorter than that. Flowers appear mostly from January through spring on the growth of the previous season, opening before or with the emergence of the current season's leaves. The leaves are simple, entire, elliptic to oblong, 5-8cm long and 1-3cm wide. Newly emergent leaves are pale green and sparsely pubescent on top densely pubescent with reddish-tan trichomes underneath. The flowers are made up of 3 deciduous sepals and 6 creamy white petals. The larger 3 outer petals are oblong and spreading, while the smaller 3 inner petals have corrugations on the inside bases that are a deep purple.
