Ornamental shrub or tree — a long aim (anag) (8)

I believe the answer is:

magnolia

(Other definitions for magnolia that I've seen before include "Spring-flowering shrub" , "Miss Hawks in Show Boat" , "ornamental tree" , "Tree with creamy-white flowers" , "Fragrant bloom might strangely gain loam" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
