This species is distinguished from other magnolias by the large leaf size, 10–32 inch long and 4–35 inch broad. The largest leaf to be reported by a credible source is 3 ft 8 in (110 centimeters) in length. [3] [4] in addition to a six inch (15 centimeter) petiole. The leaf's width can be up to eighteen inches (45 centimeters).
The leaves are alternate, leathery, dark green, very large, from 25–90 centimetres (9.8–35.4 in) long (up to 300 centimetres (120 in) long in M. gigas) and 15–75 centimetres (5.9–29.5 in) broad, often with holes in the leaf blade.
Leaves of most plants include a flat structure called the blade or lamina supported by a network of veins, a petiole and a leaf base; [1] but not all leaves are flat, some are cylindrical. [ citation needed ] Leaves may be simple, with a single leaf blade, or compound, with several leaflets .
