Magnolia macclurei (syn. Michelia macclurei) is a species of flowering plant in the family Magnoliaceae, native to southern China, including Hainan, and northern Vietnam.[2] A tree reaching 30 m (98 ft), it is found growing in evergreen broadleaf forests, from 200 to 1,500 m (700 to 4,900 ft) above sea level.[3]
When Floyd Alonzo McClure first encountered this species in 1925, he recorded in his notebook that, "The fragrance of the flowers is the most intoxicating I ever breathed."[3] In China it is harvested for its timber, and it is used as a street tree in a number of southern Chinese cities.[3][4] In Florida it is planted as an ornamental and is available from commercial nurseries.[3]
