Magnolia panamensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Magnoliaceae. It is native to Panama, and its distribution probably extends into Costa Rica. It is a forest tree with few current threats to its populations. [1]
Magnolia panamensis is native to the Cordillera Central of western Panama, in the provinces Bocas del Toro and Chiriquí, and extending to the Costa Rican border. There is a population in La Amistad National Park. Its range is presumed to extend into the Cordillera de Talamanca of Costa Rica. The species' potential forest distribution is 2,107 km2. [1]
It is found in humid montane forests from 2,000 to 2,600 meters elevation. [1]
The species' population is thought to be stable, and its conservation status is assessed as least concern.
