Magnolia Flowering Tree
Magnolia Flowering Tree
Magnolia Acuminata Flowering Tree
Cucumber Tree. North America, 1736. This is a large and handsome species, of often as much as 50 feet in height, and with a head that is bushy in proportion. The leaves are 6 inches long, ovate and pointed, and of a refreshing shade of green. Flowers greenish-yellow, sweetly scented, and produced abundantly all over the tree. They are succeeded by small, roughish fruit, resembling an infant cucumber, but they usually fall off before becoming ripe.
Magnolia Campbelii Flowering Tree
Sikkim, 1868. This is a magnificent Indian species, but, unfortunately, it is not hardy except in the favoured English and Irish localities. The leaves are large, and silky on the undersides, while the flowers are crimson and white, and equally as large as those of the better-known Magnolia grandiflora.

Magnolia Conspicua Flowering Tree
Yulan. China, 1789. A large-growing
shrub, with Pea-green, deciduous foliage, and large, pure white flowers
that oft get damaged by the spring frosts. Magnolia conspicua Soulangeana is a
supposed hybrid between Magnolia conspicua and Magnolia obovata. Whatever may be the
origin of this Magnolia, it is certainly a handsome and showy plant of
very vigorous growth, producing freely its white, purple-tinted flowers,
and which last for a long time in perfection. There are several other
varieties, including Magnolia conspicua Soulangeana nigra, with dark purplish
flowers; Magnolia conspicua Alexandrina, Magnolia conspicua Soulangeana speciosa,
and Magnolia conspicua Norbertii.
Magnolia Cordata Flowering Tree
A native of the Southern Alleghenies (1801), is still rare in collections. It is a small-growing, deciduous species, with yellow flowers, that are neither scented nor showy.
Magnolia Fraseri Flowering Tree
Long-leaved Cucumber Tree. North America, 1786. This species has distinctly auriculated leaves and large, yellowish-white, fragrant flowers.
Magnolia Glauca Flowering Tree
Laurel Magnolia. North America, 1688. This is one of the commonest species in our gardens, and at the same time one of the hardiest. It is of shrub size, with Laurel-like leaves, and sweetly-scented, small, pure white flowers, produced about the end of June.
Magnolia Grandiflora Flowering Tree
North America, 1737. One of the handsomest species, with very large, glossy, evergreen leaves, and deliciously odoriferous, creamy-white flowers, that are often fully 6 inches across. It is usually seen as a wall plant, and the slight protection thus afforded is almost a necessity in so far as the development of the foliage and flowers is concerned. Magnolia grandiflora exoniensis (Exmouth Magnolia) is a very handsome form.
Magnolia Lennei Flowering Tree
This is a garden hybrid between Magnolia conspicua and Magnolia obovata discolor, and has flowers as large as a goose's egg, of a rosy-purple colour, and produced profusely.
Magnolia Macrophylla Flowering Tree
North America, 1800. This species has very large leaves and flowers, larger, perhaps, than those of any other species. They are very showy, being white with a purple centre. It attains a height of 30 feet.
Magnolia Obovata Discolor Flowering Tree
Japan, 1790. This is a small-growing, deciduous shrub, with large, dark green leaves, and Tulip-shaped flowers, that are purple on the outside and almost white within.
Magnolia Parviflora Flowering Tree
From Japan, with creamy-white, fragrant flowers, that are globular in shape, is a very distinct and attractive species, but cannot generally be relied upon as hardy.
Magnolia Stellata Flowering Tree
Japan, 1878. A neat, small-growing, Japanese species, of bushy habit, and quite hardy in England. The small, white, fragrant flowers are produced abundantly, even on young plants, and as early as April. One of the most desirable and handsome of the small-growing species. Magnolia stellata (pink variety) received an Award of Merit at the meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on March 28, 1893. This bids fair to be really a good thing, and may best be described as a pink-flowered form of the now well-known and popular species.
Magnolia Umbrella Flowering Tree
Umbrella Tree. North America, 1752. A
noble species, with large, deep green leaves, that are often 16 inches
long. It is quite hardy around London, and produces its large, white,
fragrant flowers in succession during May and June. The fruit is large
and showy, and of a deep purplish-red colour.
