Flor de Maga is the official national flower of Puerto Rico. The tree from which it originates, the Maga tree (Thespesia grandiflora), is widely distributed throughout the island. Although originally endemic to the humid forests of Puerto Rico it has been recently introduced to countries in the Caribbean and South America.
The Maga tree grows to a maximum height of 15 metres. It is grown for timber and as an ornamental plant.
