Perspective

In 1879, Antoine de Jussieu created the genus Talauma for the species Magnolia plumieri (now a synonym of Magnolia dodecapetala). In 1866, Henri Baillon reduced the genus to a section of Magnolia, M. sect. Talauma. The taxon has also been treated as a subgenus and as a subsection of Magnolia. It contains about 96 species.[2]
