Allen,
Sorry -- I misspelled the name. It's Luculia, but i am not sure which of several varieties we have. We obtained the original cuttings from a friend in Volcano about 18 months ago. They are now about 3' high and will bloom soon. Gets to be small tree-size shrub.
I echo the Michelia comment -- way cool tree! We had a Himalayan Champaca in bay area, but it did not survive a nasty freeze one winter.
