Leda
[M. cylindrica, M. denudata(?), M. campbellii
var. alba(?)], cv. (Magnolia 33(1) [Issue 63]: 29, 1998). ‘It is now
believed that Magnolia ‘Leda’ is the same clone as previously
registered under the name ‘White Lips.’ ‘White Lips’
was registered by Philippe de Spoelberg in 1995 and published on the cover
of the Yearbook of the International Dendrology Society. This caused other
clients of Esveld Nurseries to indicate that they had a similar plant (all
purchased from Esveld as M. cylindrica). It now appears that the cultivar
‘Leda,’ not previously registered, has been widely distributed
and is the same clone. In order to avoid further confusion, it is recommended
that the name ‘White Lips’ be changed to ‘Leda’ and
the name ‘Leda’ be registered. This clone was also distributed
to Rutten Nurseries in Holland and Otto Eisenhut in Switzerland under the
name ‘White Lips.’ ‘Leda’ is believed to be a hybrid
between M. cylindrica and M. campbellii var. alba. It has 9-inch cup and saucer
flowers, with growth and habit like that of campbellii. This name change was
proposed, and the name ‘Leda’ registered, by Philippe de Spoelberch
in February, 1997.’

Awarded an F. C. C.
Lesley Jane
[M. x loebneri], cv. (Magnolia 33(1)
[Issue 63]: 30, 1998). ‘This seedling of ‘Leonard Messel’
was selected because of its superior growth and form. It is a small, single-stemmed,
upright branched tree. Flowers are paler than ‘Leonard Messel,’
but have more tepals and are much less floppy. Before being fully expanded,
the flowers maintain something of a cup and saucer shape for a while. When
fully matured, the tips of the tepals tend to roll back in towards the center
of the flower, giving the appearance of a decorative bow. Their tips are bluntly
acuminate, or rounded. Tepal color is RHS red-purple 74C when they first emerge.
As they mature, the backs of the tepals show a purplish black stripe which
extends from the base to about 1/3 the total length of the tepal. The stripe
starts at RHS red-purple 57C at the base, shading to RHS red-purple 62C at
the tip. The edges of the backs of the tepals are white, as are the inner
surfaces. When fully mature, the flowers become pure white. Stigmas are shaded
to RHS red-purple 62C. The number of tepals varies from 14–17 with an
average of 15. They are 1/2 to 1 inch wide, 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 inches long. Mature
flowers are 3–4 inches in diameter. Flowers about the same time as ‘Leonard
Messel.’ Original tree is 10 feet by 7 1/2 feet at 10 years of age.
Selected by John D. Carlson, Griffithstown, Pontypool, Gwent, U.K. and registered
by him in May 1997.’

Little Gem
[M. grandiflora], cv. (Steed's Nursery,

Tennessee Nurserymen's Association of 4 October 1969. Selected in 1952 by
Warren Steed as a seedling from local seed at Candor, North Carolina. Grown
at U.S. National Arboretum since 1959 and distributed in 1974. Described as
a strikingly compact evergreen tree, distinctly narrow and columnar in habit.
The tree at approximately 16 years old was 14 feet in height and 4 feet maximum
width, finer in texture than the species. the leaves are smaller than the
species, elliptic to oval, 2 inches wide to 5 1/2 inches long, lustrous dark
green above with a heavy rust-colored indumentum beneath. the leaf margins
vary from flat to moderately wavy. The flowers are cup-shaped, creamy white,
fragrant, tepals 3 to 4 inches long, similar in character to the species but
slightly smaller; produced throughout the summer, more late in the season
than earlier. the fruit is ovoid, cone-like, to 2 inches long, rusty-tomentose.
Easily propagated in midwinter in greenhouse by rooting hormone-treated leafy
hardwood cuttings. Flowers while still a young plant, often at no more than
18 inches tall. Fertile, but not reproducing true from seed, according to
Warren Steed's experience.
