Hello!
Sprouted some annona that were given to me as “cherimoya/atemoya”.
Of the lot, one of the seedlings has round leaves and a stem-like protrusion on the underside of each leaf.
What have I got my hands on?

My cherimoya also have some round leaf like this. Some have pointed end. I think it's normal?

Those while kinda round are still pointy at the tip, never seen or had as round of a leaf  as the op's one on any of my cherimoya seedlings or big plants.It does look like a cherimoya to me, and i know that there may be quite a bit of variation on seed grown material.

Op might have a totally cool new thing. I look at all my seedlings and none have the protrusions underneath the leaf

I will be taking some higher quality pictures of the underside of the leaves later today to give a more clear picture of what I am seeing.
Thank you all for taking a look!

Took some additional photos of the leaves.
Still a little hard to see.

The heart shape pattern on the middle of the leaf is really cool.

Amy, I hadn’t noticed the heart shape!
Looked again and other leaves on the seedling have it as well!

I’ll be keeping my eye on this one!
