Magnolia 'Elizabeth' is a hybrid Magnolia that is the offspring of a cross between Magnolia acuminata (cucumbertree) and Magnolia denudata (Yulan magnolia). It is the result of a breeding program to create yellow-flowered varieties conducted at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden beginning in 1953. The cream to pale yellow flowered Magnolia 'Elizabeth' gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit in 1993.[1] It is named for Elizabeth Van Brunt, who donated funds to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.[2]
