Magnolia × soulangeana - syn. Magnolia lennei Van Houtte - Magnoliaceae - saucer magnolia, Tulpen-Magnolie

Small tee, one of the most commonly planted magnolias in horticulture; flowers showy, colored in various shades of white to pink and crimson, emerging before the leaves inspring.

„L'hybride Magnolia × soulangeana a été créé en 1820 par le botaniste français Étienne Soulange-Bodin (1774-1846), officier de cavalerie de l'armée Napoléonienne à la retraite dans son château de Fromont près de Paris.“ http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnolia_%C3%97soulangeana „He crossed Magnolia denudata with M. liliiflora in 1820, and was impressed with the resulting progeny's first precocious flowering in 1826.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnolia_%C3%97_soulangeana

„… volatile organic compounds (VOCs), flower VOCs from Magnolia soulangeana, Magnolia liliflora, Magnolia denudata ’Feihuang’, and Michelia maudiae were collected using the dynamic headspace air-circulation method and analyzed with thermal desorption system-gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry (TDS-GC-MS). Results showed that the major compositions were as follows: Magnolia soulangeana emitted 15 types of terpenoids, mainly as cis-ocimene (relative content of 27.59%), β-pinene (14.43%), and linalool (12.90%), accounting for 92.60% of total VOCs; Magnolia liliflora emitted 22 types of terpenoids as myrcene (21.98%), selinene (10.16%), and limonene (8.12%), comprising 71.72% of the total VOCs; Magnolia denudata ’Feihuang’ emitted perillene (62.46%), cis-linalool oxide (9.56%), and cis-verbenone (7.54%) making a total of 79.6%; and Michelia maudiae chiefly emitted methyl benzoate (65.31%).“
