; * Originally described as Magnolia pyramidata Pursli in 1814. In 1S18, Thomas Nuttall, and in 1840, 

 John Torrey and Asa Gray, considered it a variety of wnat we now call Magnolia fraseri Walter, being 

 characterized then as Magnolia auriculata pyramidata, based on Magnolia pyramidata Pursh. This 

 designation, however, seems to have been neglected until from about 1900 to 1902, when specimens col- 

 lected for the Biltmore Herbarium (North Carolina) again brought to light the specific characteristics and 

 distinct range of this tree. It is closely related to Magnolia fraseri Walter, from which it differs in its 

 smaller flowers and rhombic-ovate leaves. In 1903 J. K. Small (Flor. So. E. U, S., 452, 1903) took up 

 Pursh's original name for this tree.
