ASIMINA TRILOBA/UVARIA TRILOBA

Asimina Triloba.

Paw Paw, or Custard Apple. Anonaceae.

A valuable proving of the late Dr. George Bute on himself, his daughter, and his 15-year-old grandson, from 1864 to 1868; afterwards also proved by E. H. Eisenbrey in 1869-70, in the 1st, 2d and 4th centesimal potencies. Bute used alcoholic extracts from all parts of the plant, ripe and unripe fruit, the green leaves, the bark, and the root.
