Japan. 
As pointed out already under M. liliflora Desrousseaux, the description of 
Thunberg’s M. obovata refers exclusively to the plant described later as M. hypo- 
leuca by Siebold & Zuccarini, and therefore, M. obovata must be accepted as the 
name for this species. Magnolia glauca Thunberg, not Linnaeus, also belongs 
principally to this species, for the description of the leaves, which constitutes in 
fact the whole specific description, refers only to M. obovata and was probably 
based on the specimen named later M. obovata which would then constitute the 
type of his M. glauca. The synonyms, however, quoted under the two varieties 
of M. glauca, are referable to five different species including the type: 1. M. 
glauca Linnaeus is a very different American species; 2. Sini et Konfusi, vulgo 
Kobus is M. kobus De Candolle; 3. Mitsmata is Edgeworthia papyrifera Siebold 
& Zuccarini; 4. Mokkwuren is M. liliflora Desrousseaux; 5. Fo-no-ki is M. 
obovata, and corresponds to the description.
