Magnolia fordiana is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Magnoliaceae, native to southern China, Hainan, and Vietnam.[2] An evergreen tree reaching 25 m (82 ft) tall, it is found in hilly forests, often beside rivers, at elevations from 300 to 1,200 m (1,000 to 3,900 ft).[3] Specialists in Magnolia believe that most Magnolia fordiana specimens offered for sale are actually the closely related Magnolia yuyuanensis, a more attractive tree and one that is better adapted to cultivation.[4] It is widely used as a street tree in southern Chinese cities.[5]
