I really hope this is michalia champaca.. i will carry on let it grow
and hopefully as it get better will give me more clue of what it
is....
Here's a picture of some magnolia seedlings, and a michelia is
basically a magnolia. So, you'll have to be very lucky.

I think Pam might have got it right with her second guess.
Reminds me of the time I sowed some Meconopsis betonicifolia, blue
poppies. What came up looked rather like birch. But then
"betonicifolia" means "birch-leaved", so I held on hopefully. But of
course it was birch. In fact I grew a few on and still have one of
them, now about 10 feet tall.
Actually, I think that you'll find that betonicifolia means
betony-leaved. Birch-leaved would be betulifolia.
I find my indoor pot-plants occasionally get weeds in them. Even if
the composting killed everything off, I don't think that they keep it
in perfect biological security before packing it.
