A New System for the Family Magnoliaceae

摘要

A new system for the family Magnoliaceae is proposed on the basis of the latest data on DNA and the observations of morphological characters especially in living plants. In the new system, a total of 2 subfamilies, 2 tribes and 15 genera are recognized, of which two genera are described as new. A key to the subdivision of the family and 52 new combinations are presented.
