Magnolia sulawesiana is a large evergreen tree of the Magnoliaceae family ocurring in montane forests of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.
Description
This is a large, evergreen tree, up to 35 m tall and with a dbh of up to 100 cm. As with all other species of Magnolia, the twigs have stipules that enclose the twig tips and leave conspicuous circular scars when they fall off. The leaves are spirally arranged, usually oblong, rather small for a Magnolia (usually 6-9 x 3-4.5 cm) and, like the other parts of the plant, almost completely glabrous. Only on the upper side of the petiole and on the lower side of the lamina, next to the midrib, there is a thin, but conspicuous line of brown hairs. The flowers are solitary on short stalks in the leaf-axils, have a diameter of c. 4 cm and white tepals. The fruits consist of 8-11 apocarpous carpels that release the seeds at maturity.[1]
The special pattern of the hairs on the leaves and the low number of carpels can be used to distinguish M. sulawesiana from all other species of Magnolia in Sulawesi.[1]
Distribution and ecology
The species in only known from three sites, all located in the central mountain range of Sulawesi, including Lore Lindu National Park. There, it forms part of the canopy in moist tropical montane forests at elevations of 1600 - 2200 m. It is currently the only species of Magnolia endemic to Sulawesi.[1]
Uses
While other species of Magnolia, such as M. tsiampacca and M. vrieseana, are much sought after for their timber,[3] M. sulawesiana is currently not known to be exploited. This is possibly due to its occurrence at remote locations and high elevations.[citation needed]
