Magnolia zenii

Magnolia zenii is a species of flowering plant in the family Magnoliaceae. It is a tree endemic to Henan and Jiangsu in southeastern China.[2]

Listed as "critically endangered," there were only a few dozen found left of these when the variety was first discovered in China in 1931 according to MEG McCONAHEY writing in THE PRESS DEMOCRAT.

As of 2007, only a single population of 18 trees on the north slopes of Baohua Mountain near Zhenjiang had been documented.[3]

Taxonomy

Magnolia zenii was described by botanist Wan-Chun Cheng in 1933.[4]
