Question

State the character of a magnolian stamen which indicate primitveness?

But they are not gymnosperms, like pine trees, because magnolias seeds are encased in the "fruit" (the structure that looks like a cone) before developing. Some magnolias are called Evergreen Magnolias, as the leaves stay on the tree...
