Magnolia yarumalensis
Magnolia yarumalense is a species of plant in the family Magnoliaceae. It is endemic to Colombia. Common names include: Gallinazo morado, gallinazo (Andes and Jardín), boñigo (Barbosa), almanegra (Santa Rosa de Osos and Yarumal).
It is distributed in two regions of Antioquia department: center and the north of central Andes between the municipalities of Barbosa, Anorí, Amalfi, Carolina del Príncipe, Santa Rosas de Osos and Yarumal; and southeast, on the eastern Andes between the towns of Andes, Ciudad Bolivar y Jardin. Grows in low montane wet forests, between 1'800 and 2'600 meters. This species has also been recorded on the north of Risalda department on the Western Andes in the Tatamá National Natural Park.
This species, like many other Magnolias, have been used since a long time for furniture making, as roundwood (utility poles, wooden sticks and pillars) and as sawtimber (wood boards and scantlings). The wood is fine and commercially appreciates by its dark green color, which might be the reason for its common names of boñigo, almanegra and gallinazo morado. The species also has potential do be used as ornamental.
