Magnolia kobus, known as mokryeon, kobus magnolia, or kobushi magnolia, is native to Japan (Kyushu, Honshu, and Hokkaido) and Korea. Magnolia kobus is classified within Magnolia subgenus Yulania. Magnolia kobus blooms in the early spring, bearing pleasantly fragrant white flowers with hints of pale pink about 10 cm (4 in) in diameter. The flowers are produced before the leaves, as with most members of Magnolia subgenus Yulania. Young trees do not flower.
日本辛夷，又名日本玉蘭，原產於日本（九州、本州和北海道）和韓國。日本辛夷屬於玉蘭亞屬。日本辛夷在早春開花，花朵呈白色，略帶淡粉紅色，香氣宜人，花朵直徑約 10 公分（4 英吋）。與大多數玉蘭亞屬成員一樣，花朵先於葉子長出。幼樹不開花。

Notes for Magnolia × loebneri ‘Merrill’ 洛伯納木蘭筆記
- Magnolia × loebneri is a cross between Japanese natives Magnolia stellata (star magnolia) and Magnolia kobus (Kobus magnolia).
- It was grown from open pollinated seed in 1939. The name honors German horticulturist Max Löebner who was first to make the cross between these two species in the early 20th century.
- Magnolia x loebneri ‘Merrill’ named after Arboretum director Elmer Merrill, a botany professor at Harvard University, in 1952 and hybridized by Karl Sax, Arboretum scientist and director.
- It features stunning fragrant white star-shaped flowers blushed with pink at the base and yellow eyes at the ends of the branches in mid spring before the leaves.
- 洛布納木蘭是原產於日本的星花木蘭（Magnolia stellata）與日本辛夷的雜交品種。
- 它培育自 1939 年的自由授粉種子。其命名是為了紀念德國園藝學家馬克斯·勒布納（Max Löebner），他於 20 世紀初首次將這兩個物種進行了雜交。
- 洛布納木蘭 ‘梅里爾’由植物園科學家兼園長卡爾·薩克斯（Karl Sax）培育，並於 1952 年以植物園園長、哈佛大學植物學教授埃爾默·梅里爾（Elmer Merrill）的名字命名。
- 仲春時節，在葉片長出之前，枝頭便會綻放出令人驚豔的白色星形花朵；這些花朵芳香四溢，花瓣基部泛著淡淡的粉紅色，花心則呈黃色。
