Abstract
A new Southern magnolia of the grandiflora variety distinguished by its rapid growth rate and an abundant branch and foliage development which maintains a very full canopy. The full canopy is supported by strong branching angles. The shiny new leaves are contrasted with a copper-brown pubescence on the under surface. This new magnolia is further distinguished by its magenta colored receptacle on the flowers and profuse production of large white flowers which are extremely fragrant, more than those of the straight species. Straight species are sexually propagated from seeds or originate in the wild.
