''Magnolia figo'' (also called banana shrub, port wine magnolia, ''Michelia figo'') is an evergreen tree growing to 3-4 m tall. It is native to China. Initially described as by Portuguese missionary and naturalist João de Loureiro as ''Liriodendron figo'', it was reclassified as ''Michelia figo'' by German botanist Curt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel. In 2006, a cladistic analysis of the genus ''Michelia'' found them to lie within the genus ''Magnolia'', with the name now being ''Magnolia figo''. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens for its fragrant flowers, which are cream-white, purple rounded, or light-purple, and strongly scented. The leaves are leathery, dark glossy-green, up to 10 cm long. This plant is used in Shanghai, China, as a tall evergreen hedge. It grows to a large evergreen compact tree. It grows in acid and alkaline soil very well. Susceptible to black soot. ==See also== *Michelia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Magnolia figo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
