 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 CandoUe; 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.
