Updated Feb. 15 at 2:45pm PST: Name changed from Magnolia fordiana var. yuyuanensis to Magnolia fordiana [Yuyuan ecotype], since the suggested varietal name has not been published and is therefore invalid. See comments below. -- Daniel
Formerly known as Manglietia yuyuanensis, this species (along with all of the others in its genus), has been moved into the genus Magnolia based on molecular evidence.
If you're interested, I've also used one of the Photoshop filters and made an artistic wallpaper (1280 x 1024) for this image.

Hans, I'm looking into this, but I'm going to need to talk with the Curator of the Asian Garden, who is off for at least another week on an expedition to Vietnam.

On the recommendation of Peter Wharton, I contacted Dick Figlar, who replied:
“Based on my observations of this plant, M. yuyuanensis is most definitely part of M. fordiana, but it can be distinguished from typical M. fordiana by its consistently smaller leaves and (evidently) by slightly more hair on the terminal buds. It also seems to be smaller growing (less vigorous).
I found it amusing that my good friend and colleague, Hans Nooteboom, was the one who came up with that question in the first place! After all, it was Chen & Nooteboom (1993) who first immersed Manglietia yuyuanensis into Manglietia fordiana, but at that time not as a variety of that species.”
