Magnolia zamudioi is a species of flowering plant in the family

endemic to Mexico, where it is found in the mountains of southern Veracruz and Chiapas.[1]

Description

Magnolia zamudioi is a tree that grows from 15 to 30 meters tall. It has elliptic to lanceolate leaves, 10 – 13 cm long by 3.5 – 5.5 cm wide. It flowers from March to June and fruits from August to December. Flowers have 90 to 100 stamens and 26 – 32 carpels.[2]
