Manglietia albistaminata Y. W. Law & R. Z. Zhou and M. renzhangii Y. W. Law (in Y. H. Liu, Magnolias China, 122, 187. 2004) belong here but were not validly published because no Latin descriptions or diagnoses were provided and no types were indicated (Vienna Code, Art. 36.1 and 37.1). Manglietia albistaminata was subsequently validly published as M. albistaminea.

This taxon is used for timber.
