''Magnolia hernandezii'' is a species of plant in the Magnoliaceae family. It is endemic to Colombia. The tree can attain an altitude of up to 40 m and more than 1 m in diameter with smooth, light-brown or light-grey bark. It has a woody, globular fruit with up to 15 cm diameter.〔EDICION DOMINICAL - A la vanguardia en manejo de magnolias- Edición electrónica Diario del Otún. (El Diario del Otún ) Downloaded on 17 March 2013〕〔(Flora de Antioquia: Catálogo de las Plantas Vasculares - Vol. II ), page 570〕 The Species is being investigated by a conservation and propagation research program implemented by Technical University of Pereira with support by (Botanical Gardens Conservation International ). Locally called Molinillo, the tree is endemic to the Cauca river watershed and surroundings, from Antioquia department to the South of Valle department. It is distributed between 1700 and 2600 m. Currently the species only occurs in a few locations with remains of old-growth primary forest, on the slopes of the Occidental and Central Andean Cordillera, in Valle, Quindío, Antioquia and Risaralda departments. In Risaralda department, it is very scarce, there is confirmed presence of the species in the Municipalities of Santuario, La Celia, Pereira and potentially in rural areas of the municipalities of Pueblo Rico, Belén de Umbría, Apía and Balboa. Its distribution is critically endangered principally because of expansion of coffee growth, and livestock grazing areas, construction of housing and roads, and especially due to its overexploitation for use as sawnwood. == Description== They are trees reaching from 18 to 30 m height and 50-70 cm in diameter, wide dark green canopy. The bark is almost smooth, pale brown. Fine texture wood. Leaves alternate, simple, ovate leathery, glabrous, apex rounded, entire margin, cuneate base, prominent veins on the bottom of the leaves. The petiole has a scar covering its entire surface. The flowers are solitary, glabrous; white to cream color, locates at the end of the branches, peduncle are thicker towards the apex. Flower bud enclosed within an involucre by four bracts usually covered with pubescence; 3 elliptical sepals, white, fleshy; has from 8 to 10 petals cream colored, thick and oblong. Woody fruit, sub-globose, glabrous, green colored, measuring between 9,7 and 20 cm long and 8-25 cm broad; when the fruits dehiscence, seeds remain attached in its central axis. Each fruit can have 105-219 seeds, and in some cases more than 50% of it can be completely formed. One carpel has from 1 to 2 seeds.〔Velásquez R., C. y Serna G., M. 2005. Magnoliáceas de Antioquia.
