Liriodendron tulipifera is generally considered to be a shade-intolerant species that is most commonly associated with the first century of forest succession. In Appalachian forests, it is a dominant species during the 50–150 years of succession, but is absent or rare in stands of trees 500 years or older.
It consists of two genera: Magnolia and Liriodendron (tulip trees). Unlike most angiosperms, whose flower parts are in whorls (rings), the Magnoliaceae have their stamens and pistils in spirals on a conical receptacle. [3] This arrangement is found in some fossil plants and is believed to be a basal or early condition for angiosperms.
The stoutest well-authenticated Tulip tree was the Liberty Tree in Maryland which was 21.5 feet (6.6 meters) in circumference. [6] It died in 1999. The tree is known to reach the height of 191.8 feet (58.5 meters), [ 7 ] in groves where they compete for sunlight, somewhat less if growing in an open field.

A list of tree species, grouped generally by biogeographic realm and specifically by bioregions, and shade tolerance. Shade-tolerant species are species that are able to thrive in the shade, and in the presence of natural competition by other plants. Shade-intolerant species require full sunlight and little or no competition.
