Magnolia campbellii subsp mollicomata was discovered by George Forrest in 1904 amongst the drifting snows of the Mekong valley in Yunnan south west China in natural association with Viburnum Daphne and Rhododendron species It also flowers later in the season so it misses some of the spring frosts that would otherwise damage the open flowers It bears showy long bright red fruits in early autumn
