Magnolia 'Elizabeth' was released in 1977 by Dr Sperber of Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It is named after Elizabeth Van Brunt, who donated land for the research facility where this variety was developed.
It is a cross between two Magnolia species - Magnolia acuminata which has yellow flowers and Magnolia denudata which has cream flowers.
