notes:
|
Annona Triloba is now known as Asimina triloba or pawpaw. It is native to the southeastern and temperate eastern United States. Michaux notes that the tree had been introduced into Europe. André Michaux and his son François-André were sent in 1785 by the French government to study the forest resources of North America. The French hoped to reforest their own country. François-André returned a few years later, also with a commission from the French government, and produced the Histoire des arbres forestiers ... Paris, 1810-13.
