A new species of the family Magnoliaceae, Magnolia cattienensis Q. N. Vu from Cát Tiên National Park, in the Lâm Đồng Province, south of Vietnam is described and illustrated. Magnolia cattienensis is most closely related to M. henryi Dunn, but differs by narrowly cuneate and gradually attenuate bases of the leaves (vs broadly cuneate, not attenuated), pilose pedicles (vs glabrous), and villose peduncles (vs glabrescent), pubescent gynoecium (vs glabrous), and fewer mature carpels (26–30 vs 85–90) with dense trichomes (vs glabrous).
