Interspecific hybrid between Calycanthus floridus and Sinocalycanthus sinensis, introduced by the J.C. Raulston arboretum. It has the glossy leaves of the Sinocalycanthus we used to grow (it gave up a few years ago), and large magnolia-like flowers starting in mid-spring. Despite the common name, this one is reportedly not fragrant, but it does sport attractive yellow fall foliage.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
