I found this. It might help. It says in part:
Asimina longifolia var. longifolia hybridizes with A . incana (= A . × nashii Kral) to produce spectacular, fragrant flowers with red or pink inner petals, and the hybrid is frequent over their nearly identical ranges. Asimina longifolia var. longifolia crosses with A . pygmaea , particularly along the Suwannee-Okefenokee axis, ultimately to form swarms, the individuals varying in height, degree of arching of branches, flower sizes, pigments, and fragrances. Some of those hybrids were noted by W. Bartram.
Here's where that comes from:

Here's the specimen info.

Because A . longifolia var. spatulata much resembles the hybrids between A . longifolia var. longifolia and A . pygmaea , it is not unlikely that it originated as such a hybrid and has extended west and north from the early swarms, these presumably along the Suwannee-Okefenokee drainage.
Tiffany, note the location they have posted on the map. Is this near where you found the one you photographed?
