It grows on the upper edges of gallery forests along streams and rivers, between 100 and 1000 meters elevation. The coastal lowlands are part of the Jalisco dry forests ecoregion.[1]
The species has a very limited range, and its extent of occurrence (EOO) is estimated to be less than 100 km2.[1]
Conservationedit
The species is threatened by habitat loss from deforestation and conversion of its habitat to agriculture, pasture, and urbanization. Its conservation status is assessed as Critically Endangered.[1]
Systematicsedit

Other closely related species live in western Mexico, and constitute the Magnolia pacifica group – Magnolia pacifica from the seaward-facing mountains of Nayarit and western Jalisco, and Magnolia pugana from inland canyons and cloud forests in northern Jalisco and southern Zacatecas.[2]M. vallartensis and M. pugana are sometimes classed as subspecies of M. pacifica.
