It is possible that a better division of Asimina would be as done by J.K. Small (1933), with Asimina confined to A. triloba and A. parviflora, and all other species (and including Deeringothamnus), placed in a second genus (Pityothamnus). It is likely that additional taxa will be named. Read more in Weakley's Flora (2023).
