The name Magnolia odoratissima Y. W. Law & R. Z. Zhou is reinstated as legitimate, because the supposed earlier homonym M . odoratissima Reinw. ex Blume has never been validly published. Therefore, later publication of the new name M . lawiana Sima & H. Yu to replace Magnolia odoratissima Y. W. Law & R. Z. Zhou is nomenclaturally superfluous.
