Magnolia figo banana shrub

A shrubby evergreen magnolia growing up to 8 feet tall. Intensely fragrant flowers are 1–1½ inches wide with creamy yellow tepals that are edged in purple-brown. They are borne in the leaf axils, a characteristic of section Michelia (see M. doltsopa). A row had been planted at the southwest corner of the old Career Development Center (now Barnum Center); the sole survivor was removed in 2005. There are no other known campus locations.
