As moft deciduous trees are lefs impatient of cold than 

 Vhofe that are evergreen, it is not improbable but that the 

 Magnolia confpicua may bear our winters in the open ground; 

 but our fprings are generally too rough to allow us to expeft 

 that the blofibms which appear fo early in the year will arrive at 

 tolerable perfe&ion without fhelter. 



Propagated by cuttings or by inarching on fome of the more 

 common fpecies. Flowers in February, March, and April. 

 Introduced in 1780, by the Right Hon. Sir Joseph Banks,
