Permanent unique identifier for this particular organism:
http://bioimages.vanderbilt.edu/vanderbilt/2-40
Notes:
You can easily find this tree by looking for it to the left of the front steps of Kirkland Hall.
Chinese or saucer magnolia is actually a hybrid of two magnolia species and is not native to the United States. However, it is often planted as an ornamental and is more cold-hardy than other magnolias.
These trees are well-known on campus because they frame the front door of the main administration building. Their beautiful purplish-pink blooms are a sure sign that spring is just around the corner.
