The alternate, mostly oblong-ovate to elliptic or inversely lance-shaped leaves are glossy, light or dark green. Manglietia species are usually cultivated for their magnolia-like flowers, borne singly at the tips of the branches. They are followed by cone-like heads containing oblong to ovoid, fleshy-coated seeds. Grow as specimen plants. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse.
