Magnolia sacilifolia
is a deciduous tree with gray to gray-brown barks found in forests
in mountainous regions. Leaves are in an alternate arrangement,
blades measuring 6-12cm in length, and 2-5cm in width, in the shape
of a lanceolate or oval-like lanceolate, with entire margins,
pointed tips, and cuneate bases, also with a thin texture. With
fragrance, 10cm across white flowers bloom before the leaves
develop. Three of the perianth segments are small and sepal-like,
and six inside are petal-like. Bloom time: April-May. |
