Range. — The typical form of this magnolia, unknown in the wild state since 

 its first discovery, and since preserved for over 100 years in cultivation, was, in 

 1913, rediscovered by L. A. Berkmans (fide C. S. Sargent) growing wild in the 

 valley of the Savannah River, Georgia (Spears Plantation, 6 miles south, and 

 Goshen Plantation, 16 miles south of Augusta; also in the vicinity of Mayfield 

 and Bath); Alabama (Sumpter and Choctaw Counties — W. W. Ashe). Previous 

 to this rediscovery, individual wild trees have been found in the mountains from 

 North Carolina to Georgia and Alabama that in foliage and flowers somewhat 

 resembled the cultivated tree, but none of these wild trees are just like the garden 

 form. The rediscovered form is said to be a shrub under 8 feet in height, while 

 the long-known cultivated representative is often 25 or 30 feet high. 



Note on nomenclature. — Formerly designated as Magnolia acuminata 

 cordata (Michaux) Sargent. 



NAMES IN USE 



Cucumber-tree (Va., N. C, Miss., La.). Yellow Cucumber-tree (Ala.). 

 Yellow-flowered Magnolia (Ala., La.). Heart-leaved Cucumber-tree (N. C). 

 Yellow-flowered Cucumber-tree (Ala.). 



"J K. Small (Flor. So. E. U. 8., 451, 1903) designates this and the Cucumber-tree as Tulipastrum 

 acuminatum (L.) Small and as Tulipastrum cordatum (Michaux) Small, the reason for this being that the 

 slender deciduous styles of the flowers of these two trees constitute a characteristic of the genus Tulipas- 

 trum Spach. Quite generally, however, this geuus has not been recognized as distinct from Magnolia of 

 Linnaeus, established many years before.
