 The largest Michelia I have seen is at Greenway Garden Devon at over 15m. Glendurgan also have a large specimen. |  Michelia at Greenway Garden |  Close up of Michelia doltsopa. This is a different plant and would indicate that this species can be quite variable in leaf and flower. |
Michelia doltsopa is closely related to the magnolia and now some botanists treat them as Magnolia. One of the main differences are the flowers tend to be in clusters amongst the leaves as apposed to Magnolia where they are on the ends of the branches.
