Magnolia is a large genus of about 210[notes 1]flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. It is named after French botanist Pierre Magnol.
Magnolia is an ancient genus. Appearing before bees did, the flowers are theorized to have evolved to encourage pollination by beetles. To avoid damage from pollinating beetles, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are extremely tough. Fossilised specimens of M. acuminata have been found dating to 20 million years ago, and of plants identifiably belonging to the Magnoliaceae date to 95 million years ago.[1] Another aspect of Magnolia considered to represent an ancestral state is the flower bud is enclosed in a bract rather than in sepals; the perianth parts are undifferentiated and called tepals rather than distinct sepals and petals. Magnolia shares the tepal characteristic with several other flowering plants near the base of the flowering plant lineage such as Amborella and Nymphaea (as well as with many more recently derived plants such as Lilium).
The natural range of Magnolia species is a disjunct distribution, with a main centre in east and southeast Asia and a secondary centre in eastern North America, Central America, the West Indies, and some species in South America.

Mature Magnolia fruit just starting to open, with a few seeds visible |
As with all Magnoliaceae the perianth is undifferentiated, with 9–15 tepals in 3 or more whorls. The flowers are bisexual with numerous adnate carpels and stamens are arranged in a spiral fashion on the elongated receptacle. The fruit dehisces along their dorsal sutures. The pollen is monocolpate, and the embryo development is of the Polygonium type.(Kapil 1964)(Xu and Rudall 2006)
§Taxonomy[edit]
§History[edit]
§Early[edit]
The name Magnolia first appeared in 1703 in the Genera[2] of Charles Plumier (1646–1704), for a flowering tree from the island of Martinique (talauma). English botanist William Sherard, who studied botany in Paris under Joseph Pitton de Tournefort, a pupil of Magnol, was most probably the first after Plumier to adopt the genus name Magnolia. He was at least responsible for the taxonomic part of Johann Jacob Dillenius's Hortus Elthamensis[3] and of Mark Catesby's Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands.[4] These were the first works after Plumier's Genera that used the name Magnolia, this time for some species of flowering trees from temperate North America. The species that Plumier originally named Magnolia was later described as Annona dodecapetala by Lamarck,[5] and has since been named Magnolia plumieri and Talauma plumieri (and still a number of other names) but is now known as Magnolia dodecapetala.[notes 2]
Carolus Linnaeus, who was familiar with Plumier's Genera, adopted the genus name Magnolia in 1735 in his first edition of Systema Naturae, without a description, but with a reference to Plumier's work. In 1753, he took up Plumier's Magnolia in the first edition of Species Plantarum. There he described a monotypic genus, with the sole species being Magnolia virginiana. Since Linnaeus never saw a herbarium specimen (if there ever was one) of Plumier's Magnolia and had only his description and a rather poor picture at hand, he must have taken it for the same plant which was described by Catesby in his 1730 Natural History of Carolina. He placed it in the synonymy of Magnolia virginiana var. fœtida, the taxon now known as Magnolia grandiflora. Under Magnolia virginiana Linnaeus described five varieties (glauca, fœtida, grisea, tripetala, and acuminata). In the tenth edition of Systema Naturae (1759), he merged grisea with glauca, and raised the four remaining varieties to species status.[notes 3]
By the end of the 18th century, botanists and plant hunters exploring Asia began to name and describe the Magnolia species from China and Japan. The first Asiatic species to be described by western botanists were Magnolia denudata and Magnolia liliiflora,[notes 4] and Magnolia coco and Magnolia figo.[notes 5] Soon after that, in 1794, Carl Peter Thunberg collected and described Magnolia obovata from Japan and at roughly the same time Magnolia kobus was also first collected.[6]
§Recent[edit]
With the number of species increasing, the genus was divided into the two subgenera Magnolia and Yulania. Magnolia contains the American evergreen species M. grandiflora, which is of horticultural importance, especially in the southeastern United States, and M. virginiana, the type species. Yulania contains several deciduous Asiatic species, such as M. denudata and M. kobus, which have become horticulturally important in their own right and as parents in hybrids. Classified in Yulania, is also the American deciduous M. acuminata (cucumber tree), which has recently attained greater status as the parent responsible for the yellow flower colour in many new hybrids.
Relations in the family Magnoliaceae have been puzzling taxonomists for a long time. Because the family is quite old and has survived many geological events (such as ice ages, mountain formation, and continental drift), its distribution has become scattered. Some species or groups of species have been isolated for a long time, while others could stay in close contact. To create divisions in the family (or even within the genus Magnolia), solely based upon morphological characters, has proven to be a nearly impossible task.[notes 6]
§Phylogenetic era[edit]
By the end of the 20th century, DNA sequencing had become available as a method of large-scale research on phylogenetic relationships. Several studies, including studies on many species in the family Magnoliaceae, were carried out to investigate relationships.[7][8][9] What these studies all revealed was that genus Michelia and Magnolia subgenus Yulania were far more closely allied to each other than either one of them was to Magnolia subgenus Magnolia. These phylogenetic studies were supported by morphological data.[10]
As nomenclature is supposed to reflect relationships, the situation with the species names in Michelia and Magnolia subgenus Yulania was undesirable. Taxonomically, three choices are available: 1 to join Michelia and Yulania species in a common genus, not being Magnolia (for which the name Michelia has priority), 2 to raise subgenus Yulania to generic rank, leaving Michelia names and subgenus Magnolia names untouched, or 3 to join Michelia with genus Magnolia into genus Magnolia s.l. (a big genus). Magnolia subgenus Magnolia cannot be renamed because it contains M. virginiana, the type species of the genus and of the family. Not many Michelia species have so far become horticulturally or economically important, apart for their wood. Both subgenus Magnolia and subgenus Yulania include species of major horticultural importance, and a change of name would be very undesirable for many people, especially in the horticultural branch. In Europe, Magnolia even is more or less a synonym for Yulania, since most of the cultivated species on this continent have Magnolia (Yulania) denudata as one of their parents. Most taxonomists who acknowledge close relations between Yulania and Michelia therefore support the third option and join Michelia with Magnolia.
The same goes, mutatis mutandis, for the (former) genera Talauma and Dugandiodendron, which are then placed in subgenus Magnolia, and genus Manglietia, which could be joined with subgenus Magnolia or may even earn the status of an extra subgenus. Elmerrillia seems to be closely related to Michelia and Yulania, in which case it will most likely be treated in the same way as Michelia is now. The precise nomenclatural status of small or monospecific genera like Kmeria, Parakmeria, Pachylarnax, Manglietiastrum, Aromadendron, Woonyoungia, Alcimandra, Paramichelia and Tsoongiodendron remains uncertain. Taxonomists who merge Michelia into Magnolia tend to merge these small genera into Magnolia s.l. as well. Botanists do not yet agree on whether to recognize a big Magnolia genus or the different small genera. For example, Flora of China offers two choices: a large Magnolia which includes about 300 species, everything in the Magnoliaceae except Liriodendron (tulip tree), or 16 different genera, some of them recently split out or re-recognized, each of which contains up to 50 species.[11] The western co-author favors the big Magnolia genus, whereas the Chinese co-authors recognize the different small genera.
§Subdivision[edit]
Species of Magnolia are most commonly listed under three subgenera, 12 sections, and 13 subsections., such as that used here, following the classification of the Magnolia Society.[12] It does not represent the last word on the subclassification of the genus Magnolia (see above), as a clear consensus has not yet been reached.

§Etymology[edit]
Charles Plumier (1646–1704) described a flowering tree from the island of Martinique in his Genera,[2] giving it the name Magnolia, after the French botanist Pierre Magnol.
§Uses[edit]
§Horticultural uses[edit]
In general, the Magnolia genus has attracted horticultural interest. Some, such as the star magnolia (M. stellata) and the saucer magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana) flower quite early in the spring, before the leaves open. Others flower in late spring or early summer, including the sweetbay magnolia (M. virginiana) and the southern magnolia (M. grandiflora).
Hybridisation has been immensely successful in combining the best aspects of different species to give plants which flower at an earlier age than the parent species, as well as having more impressive flowers. One of the most popular garden magnolias, saucer magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana), is a hybrid of M. liliiflora and M. denudata.
In the eastern United States, five native species are frequently in cultivation: M. acuminata (as a shade tree), M. grandiflora, M. virginiana, M. tripetala, and M. macrophylla. The last two species must be planted where high winds are not a frequent problem because of the size of their leaves.
§Traditional medicine[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (September 2012) |
The bark and flower buds of M. officinalis have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine, where they are known as hou po (厚朴). In Japan, kōboku, M. obovata, has been used in a similar manner.
§Timber[edit]
The cucumbertree, M. acuminata, grows to large size and is harvested as a timber tree in northeastern US forests. Its wood is sold as "yellow poplar" along with that of the tuliptree, Liriodendron tulipifera. The Fraser magnolia, M. fraseri, also attains enough size sometimes to be harvested, as well.
§Other uses[edit]
In parts of Japan, the leaves of M. obovata are used for wrapping food and as cooking dishes.
Magnolias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including the giant leopard moth.
§Chemical compounds and bioeffects[edit]
The aromatic bark contains magnolol, honokiol, 4-O-methylhonokiol, and obovatol.[13][14][15][16][17][18] Magnolol[19] and honokiol[20] activate the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.
§Culture[edit]
§Symbols[edit]
- M. grandiflora is the official state flower of both Mississippi and Louisiana. The flower's abundance in Mississippi is reflected in its nickname of "Magnolia State". The magnolia is also the official state tree of Mississippi. Historically, magnolias have been associated with the Southern United States.
- Siebold's magnolia (M. sieboldii) is the national flower of North Korea.
§Arts[edit]
§Film and television[edit]
- Paul Thomas Anderson created a movie titled Magnolia.
- Steel Magnolias is a 1989 American comedy-drama film about the bond among a group of women from Louisiana, who can be as beautiful as magnolias, but are as tough as steel. The magnolia specifically references a magnolia tree about which they are arguing at the beginning.[21]
§Music[edit]
- The French song by Salvatore Adamo "Les collines de Rabiah" in the 1970ss describes the magnolia trees in Beirut and calls for peace.
- David Sylvian recorded a song titled "The Scent Of Magnolia" in 1999. This was included on the 2000 compilation Everything and Nothing and was also released as a promotional single.
- The Grateful Dead recorded a song titled "Sugar Magnolia" that was first released on the 1970 album American Beauty. The song made its live debut on June 7, 1970, at the Fillmore West in San Francisco. The semiofficial 1972 Dead movie Sunshine Daydream has its title taken from the song's coda section.
§Literature[edit]
- The 1989 movie Steel Magnolias is based on a 1987 play, Steel Magnolias, by Robert Harling.
- Rabindranath Tagore has mentioned magnolia in his poem "Mukti in Gitimalya".
- In the 1939 song "Strange Fruit", written to condemn the practice of lynching, the magnolia flower was referenced as being associated with the Southern United States, where most lynchings took place: "Pastoral scene of the gallant south/The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth/Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,/Then the sudden smell of burning flesh."
§Visual arts[edit]
The Canadian artist, Sarah Maloney,[22] has created a series of sculptures of Magnolia flowers in bronze and steel, entitled First Flowers,[23] in which she draws our attention to the dual symbols of beginnings in the flower, as both an evolutionary archetype and also one of the first trees to flower in spring.

§Notes[edit]
- ^ The number of species in the genus Magnolia depends on the taxonomic view that one takes up. Recent molecular and morphological research shows that former genera Talauma, Dugandiodendron, Manglietia, Michelia, Elmerrillia, Kmeria, Parakmeria, Pachylarnax (and a small number of monospecific genera) all belong within the same genus, Magnolia s.l. (s.l. = sensu lato: 'in a broad sense', as opposed to s.s. = sensu stricto: 'in a narrow sense'). The genus Magnolia s.s. contains about 120 species. See the section Nomenclature and classification in this article.
- ^ Under the rule of priority, the first name that is validly published in Linnaeus' Species Plantarum (1 May 1753) or any other work of any other botanist after that, takes precedence over later names. Plumier's name was not a binomen and moreover published before Species Plantarum, so it has no status. The first binomen published after 1753 was Lamarck's Annona dodecapetala (1786). Magnolia plumieri (1788) was published on a later date by Schwartz, and is treated as a later synonym, as are Magnolia fatiscens (1817; Richard), Talauma caerulea (Jaume St-Hilaire 1805) and Magnolia linguifolia (1822).
- ^ Magnolia glauca has the same type specimen as Magnolia virginiana and as the latter is the first valid name, the species is now called Magnolia virginiana (sweetbay magnolia). Var. fœtida was renamed Magnolia grandiflora, which is legitimate as the epithet fœtida only has priority in its rank of variety. Magnolia grandiflora is the southern magnolia. Magnolia tripetala (umbrella magnolia) and Magnolia acuminata (cucumber tree) are still recognized as species.
- ^ Under these names the species were described by Desrousseaux in Lamarck's Encyclopédie Méthodique Botanique, tome troisieme (1792): 675. In the beginning of the 20th century, descriptions which seemed to represent the same species, were found in a work of the French naturalist P.J. Buc'hoz, Plantes nouvellement découvertes (1779), under the names Lassonia heptapeta and Lassonia quinquepeta. In 1934, the English botanist J.E. Dandy argued that these names had priority over the names by which both species had been known for over a century and hence from then on Magnolia denudata had to be named Magnolia heptapeta, Magnolia liliiflora should be changed into Magnolia quinquepeta. After a lengthy debate, specialist taxonomists decided that the Buc'hoz's names were based on chimaeras (pictures constructed of elements of different species), and as Buc'hoz did not cite or preserve herbarium specimens, his names were ruled not to be acceptable.
- ^ These species were published as Liriodendron coco and Liriodendron figo by J. de Loureiro in Flora Cochinchinensis (1790) and later (1817) transferred to Magnolia by A. P. de Candolle. Magnolia figo was soon after transferred to the genus Michelia.
- ^ In 1927 J.E. Dandy accepted 10 genera in The genera of Magnoliaceae, Kew Bulletin 1927: 257-264. In 1984 Law Yuh-Wu proposed 15 in A preliminary study on the taxonomy of the family Magnoliaceae, Acta Phytotaxonomica Sinica 22: 89-109; in 2004 even 16, in Magnolias of China. This is not just about grouping some genera together where others do not; authors often choose different boundaries.
- ^ Often treated as a distinct species, Magnolia pyramidata.
- ^ Often treated as a distinct species, Magnolia ashei.
- ^ Often treated as a distinct species, Magnolia dealbata.

This deciduous tree is 40-80' at maturity, forming a straight trunk up to 3' across and a pyramidal to rounded crown. Branches of the crown are widely spreading to ascending; the crown becomes more open on older trees. Trunk bark on mature trees is shallowly furrowed and rough-textured, while the trunk bark of immature trees is more scaly and flaky. Regardless of maturity, trunk bark is grayish brown, rather thin, and soft. Branch bark and twigs are reddish brown to gray and more smooth. The twigs are relatively stout and they have long terminal buds (up to 1" in length) that are silvery gray. When they are broken, the twigs release a sweet-spicy scent. Alternate leaves are found along the twigs and young green shoots. The blades of these leaves are 5-10" long and 2½-6" across; they are broadly elliptic or ovate and their margins are entire (smooth) to slightly undulate (wavy). The upper blade surface is yellowish green to dark green and glabrous, while the lower blade surface is pale green and more or less covered with short fine pubescence. The slender petioles are pale green and 1-2" long. Flowers are produced individually at the tips of twigs, usually within the middle to upper crown of the tree. Each flower is 2-3½" long and a little less across, consisting of 6 yellowish green petals, 3 light green sepals, and a cylindrical cluster of pistils with a ring of flat stamens at its base. The petals are erect, oblanceolate in shape, rather leathery in texture, and often glaucous. The sepals are much smaller than the petals, drooping, and early-deciduous. The blooming period occurs from mid- to late spring as the vernal leaves develop. The flowers are slightly fragrant. Afterwards, cross-pollinated flowers produce compound fruits that are 1½-3" long, oblongloid in shape, and glabrous. Immature compound fruits are green and scaly in appearance, while mature compound fruits are orange-red to red and more irregularly shaped. There are typically 10-60 fruits per compound fruit, although some fruits may fail to develop. During late summer or autumn, these fruits become mature and release their seeds. Each fruit consists of a follicle that splits open along one side to release 1 or 2 seeds. Individual seeds are about ½" long and ovoid in shape; they have soft outer coats that are red or orange-red, fleshy, and oily. The ripe seeds are suspended from the compound fruit by thread-like structures before they fall to the ground. The root system is widely spreading and relatively deep; a taproot is rarely formed. Smaller roots are rather fleshy and delicate. This tree reproduces by reseeding itself. The deciduous leaves become dull yellow or brown during the autumn.

Cucumbertree has no important disease agents; however, it is very sensitive to ground fires and frost (8). Nectria galligena is common on cucumbertree stands on unsuitable sites, particularly in the southern Appalachian region. Nectria cankers cause defects but seldom kill the tree.
Ambrosia beetles such as Platypus compositus, a common wood borer, seriously degrade recently felled trees during warm months. In the South, it is common to saw logs within 2 to 3 weeks after felling (2). The magnolia scale (Neolecanium cornuparuum), one of the largest scale insects in the United States, can seriously injure magnolia species. Other sap-sucking insects that attack cucumbertree are the European fruit lecanium (Parthenolecanium corni); the oleander pit scale (Asterolecanium pustulans); and the San Jose scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus). Common insect defoliators of cucumbertree are 0dontopus calceatus, Phyllocnistis magnoliella, and Phyllophaga forsteri (2).
Sapsucker damage is common on cucumbertree. Bird peck causes stain streaks in the wood several feet above and below each peck, resulting in lumber degrade.
In general, wildlife use of cucumbertree for food is low; however, the seeds are eaten by several species of birds and small mammals (11). Grackles and blackbirds also eat the young fruit of the cucumber tree (14). Twigs, leaves, and buds are browsed by deer; although cucumbertree is classed as nonpalatable by some investigators (9), others have considered it an important deer plant food in West Virginia during one or more seasons (1).
Cucumbertree is a valuable forest and shade tree, highly desirable for ornamental planting because of the showy flowers, fruits, and attractive foliage and bark (18). This species has been planted successfully well north of its native range (4); it grows well in slightly acid, well-drained soil (26).
Cucumbertree is used for wood products and resembles yellow-poplar except that the wood is heavier, harder, and stronger (3). This species is commonly used for lumber in the Appalachian Mountains, especially in West Virginia and adjoining States. The wood is usually sold as yellow-poplar; it has not been sold as cucumbertree lumber since 1928 (3). The wood is used in furniture, fixtures, venetian blinds, siding, interior trim, sashes, doors, boxes, and crates (10). Cucumbertree is not as desirable for fuelwood as the denser hardwoods. Compared with hickory, which has a fuel value of 100, cucumbertree has a fuel value of 57 (on a volume basis).
Cucumbertree has a specific gravity of 0.44 based on oven-dry weight and green volume, and 0.48 based on oven-dry weight and volume at 12 percent moisture content (27). Generally, the wood is close grained, durable, and susceptible to decay. Sapwood typically is a light color while the heartwood is pale brown. The branches of this species are soft and break easily, making tree climbing difficult (22).
The range of southern magnolia extends from eastern North Carolina, south along the Atlantic Coast to the Peace River in central Florida, then westward through roughly the southern half of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, and across Louisiana into southeast Texas. It is most prevalent in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas (12,14).
