Annona tenuiflora is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Brazil , Colombia, French Guiana and Venezuela.[2] Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius, the German botanist who first formally described the species, named it after the slender (tenui- in Latin) sepals and petals of its flowers.[3][4]
Description
It is a tree that reaches greater than 9.75 meters in height. Its leaves are 5.4-27 centimeters by 2.7-10.8 and have rounded tips. The leaves have a reddish underside and slightly wavy margins. Its peduncles are 2.7 - 4.1 centimeters long. Carl von Martius conjectured that it has male and female flowers. Its sepals are 2.25 millimeters long. Its flowers have 6 petals in two rows of three. Its pink, concave, oval petals are 1.8 centimeters long. It has numerous tightly packed stamens with hairs at their base, arranged on a conical receptacle. Its anthers are pink.[4]
