Historic Details: 

The Maga tree — scientifically called Thespesia grandiflora — is endemic to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and paints our island’s natural landscapes with the colorful beauty of its flowers, the Flor de Maga. These blooms are synonymous with our cultural identity and became an official symbol for our land in 2019. While many people confuse this flower with a hibiscus, it sets itself apart with several distinguishing characteristics. Flor de Maga grows on trees that can reach up to 65 feet high and boast a 20-inch diameter and also produces an intoxicating floral scent unlike any other. Conversely, the hibiscus comes in numerous colors and grows on a shrub or bush. Its foliage is ovate, and many species have no aroma.
