Magnolia compressa Zhongshanhanxiao, a new Magnolia compressa (Maxim.) Sarg. cultivar, is described and illustrated in this paper. The leaves and flower of M. compressa ‘Zhongshanhanxiao’ were similar to M. compressa (Maxim.) Sarg., but differed from the latter by their larger sizes. The leaf lengths and widths of the new cultivar were 7 to 15 cm and 3 to 7 cm, respectively [the leaf lengths and widths of M. compressa (Maxim.) Sarg. were 5 to 7 cm and 2 to 3 cm, respectively], and the perianth lengths and widths were 4 to 7 cm and 1 to 4 cm, respectively [the perianth lengths and widths of M. compressa (Maxim.) Sarg. were 1.2 to 1.5 cm long and 0.3 to 0.5 cm wide]. In addition to the morphological differences, the new cultivar had a faster growth rate and the first flowering time was the third year after planting, whereas M. compressa (Maxim.) Sarg. took longer to first flower. The flowering period of this new cultivar was from February to March and the fruiting period was from October to November.
