The leaves of this slender native tree are thin, deciduous, 6 - 18 inches long, and have a prominent notch at the base. The petals are usually 3 - 4 inches long. The leaves of the somewhat similar Magnolia tripetala, found scattered over the state, are not notched at the base. A native of the southern Appalachians, these trees are found in rich woods of the mountains and upper piedmont of North Carolina. April - May [Justice, William S. and Bell, C.
