Annona tenuiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Annonaceae. It is a shrub or tree native to northern Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Suriname, Peru, and Venezuela.[2] Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius, the German botanist who first formally described the species in 1841, named it after the slender (tenui- in Latin) sepals and petals of its flowers.[3][4]
