Magnolia (Magnoliaceae)

Magnolia

Magnolia are distinguished by their large, fragrant flowers, often with numerous petal-like parts, and glossy, leathery leaves. These plants often grow as large shrubs or trees, thriving in the understory of temperate and tropical forests where moist, rich soils and partial shade promote their lush growth. Their ancient lineage is mirrored in their flower structure, which appears primitive and essential compared to other flowering plants.
