Umbrella Magnolia is a small tree to 40 feet in height that can be distinguished by its very large leaves, which are 10-24 inches long by 6-9 inches wide. It is a rare tree found along the banks of rivers and streams in moist, fertile soil. The large flowers, which apperar in May, are creamy-white and 6-10 inches across with an unpleasant fragrance. Its only location in Indiana is in a ravine in a south-central border county.
