Please identify this plant. Got this plant from a reputed nursery
tagged as " Magnolia / Michelia ? " . Leaves are aprox. 10 inches long
and 5 inches wide. Branches are dark brown. Hardy enough to grow in
semi shade like a bushy shrub. Yet not bloomed . In spring it shades
some brown  leaves .
Thank you in advance.
Regards.

To me, it doesn't look like Michelia, nor Magnolia.
Please check it for Cananga odorata (?).

I think Vijaya may be on the right tract...

does remind me of the ylang ylang trees...

Mr. Maitra if you have a chance you could compare the leaves with a few of these trees in Cal hort garden, two are right in the left side of the driveway to the parking lot...

good luck

I think Gibs is right Vijay. Theobroma cacao young leaves are usually read. Cananga has nearly lanceolate leaf.

Giby should be right. But the young leaves of Cananga are broader and not that wavy as per http://plantsarethestrangestpeople.blogspot.com/2010_11_28_archive.html
My correlation was also due to the name Michelia/Champaca ? given by the nursery man. I thought Cananga flowers are somewhat similar to that of Michelia. Cacao is less likely to be mistaken for Michelia by a nursery person!

Anyway, the young leaf does look like that of Theobroma cacao, as suggested by Giby, except the more pointed leaf apex as in this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/shubhada_nikharge/5418333865/
