Description

Looking into the front of a common pawpaw flower. Photographed in Tennessee's Cove Lake State Park at the Bruce Gap trailhead where I started backpacking a section of the Cumberland Trail.

A deciduous shrub to small tree, in Florida limited to mesic woodlands of the central panhandle. The range extends through much of the central and eastern United States - west into Texas, northwest to Nebraska, north into Ontario, and as far northeast as New York.
The maroon flowers are from 1 to 2 inches wide when opened, on pedicels of just under a half inch or longer, appearing in late spring and early summer. Leaves are alternate and entire, with many on any plant over 6 inches long and with mostly acuminate tips.
