History:
Magnolia is an ancient genus[1].
Having evolved before bees appeared, the flowers developed to encourage
pollination by beetles. As a result, the carpels (One of the ovule-bearing
structures in an angiosperm that comprises the innermost whorl of a flower)
of Magnolia flowers are tough to avoid damage by eating and crawling
beetles. Fossilized specimens of M. acuminata have been found dating
to 20 million years ago, and of plants identifiably belonging to the
Magnoliaceae dating to 95 million years ago. Another primitive aspect of
Magnolias is their lack of distinct sepals[2]. |

|
|
There are about 80 different species of Magnolia that are native to the
eastern United States and southeastern Asia. Over half of these are in
cultivation around the world and many selections and hundreds of named hybrids
have been made by breeders seeking better features.
Magnolia has been used traditionally in temple ceremonies to mark births, deaths
and holidays. |
