|discussion=<p>Confined largely to the coastal plain, <i>Magnolia pyramidata</i> differs from the allopatric <i>M. fraseri</i> in being a smaller tree with a narrower, pyramidal habit; <i>M. pyramidata</i> is very local and nowhere abundant. Morphologically, <i>M. pyramidata</i> differs from <i>M. fraseri</i> in the pandurate leaf blades, smaller flowers and stipules, fewer stamens and pistils, and smaller follicetums. <i>Magnolia pyramidata</i> is occasionally cultivated, but it is less hardy than <i>M. fraseri</i>.</p><!--
--><p>The largest known tree of <i>Magnolia pyramidata</i>, 11.9m in height with a trunk diameter of 69 cm, is recorded from Newton County, Texas (American Forestry Association 1994).</p>
