Magnoliaceae

41-Magnolia sieboldii

[FMP-field: image]

The Oyama magnolia (Magnolia sieboldii) is native to Japan, Korea, and China. The flowers nod downwards and are about 4 inches in diameter. The brilliant crimson anthers contrast with the white petals, and the green gynoecium protrudes through the anthers.
