Magnolia oblonga, also known as borsopa, ful-sopa, or kothal-sopa, is a tree species native to the Northeastern region of India. It can grow up to 50 meters high and is usually buttressed at the base.
Magnolia oblonga is native to Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh states in northeastern India, where it grows in montane subtropical evergreen moist forests from 1200 to 2,200 metres elevation. It was first described by Wallich ex Hook. f. & Thomson in Fl. Ind. in 1855 and later in Fl. Brit. India in 1872. The species is also known by other names, like bewa-champhe and chambi-sirsang in the Garo language and dieng-ta-rai in the Khmer language.
