Umbrella magnolias get their name from the false whorls of leaves that are produced at the branch tips in early spring, imparting an umbrella-like appearance. The umbrella magnolias include Fraser magnolia (Magnolia fraseri), pyramid magnolia (M. pyramidata), umbrella magnolia (M. tripetala), and big-leaf magnolia (M. macrophylla).

The pyramid magnolia, Magnolia pyramidata, is a rare and local native to rich ravines of the coastal plain from SC to TX. It is essentially a miniature version of M. fraseri, with leaves and flowers roughly two thirds the size of those of its larger cousin. The two are closely related, and M. pyrimidata is often considered a variety of M. fraseri. In South Carolina, M. pyramidata is very rare (S1 — critically imperiled), occurring in no more than a half-dozen populations of a few individuals each in Aiken, Calhoun and Richland counties. A few years ago one of the populations in Aiken county was extirpated by beavers, and in Richland county there was only one known plant in 1985! Unfortunately, both M. fraseri & pyramidata — unlike most magnolias — are difficult to grow in cultivation.
