Editing Magnoliaceae (section)

=== Foundational Taxonomic and Systematics Research (18th-19th century) ===
The earliest botanical description of the Magnoliaceae as a family is in Antonii Laurentii de Jussieu's ''Genera Plantarum'', which describes eight genera included within the family (''Euryandra'', ''Drymis'', Illicium, ''Michelia'', ''Magnolia'', ''Talauma, Liriodendrum'', and ''Mayna'') as well as four genera closely related to the family (''Dillenia'', ''Curatella'', ''Ochna'', and ''Quassia'').<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jussieu |first=Antoine Laurent de |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.5962/bhl.title.284 |title=Antonii Laurentii de Jussieu Genera plantarum :secundum ordines naturales disposita, juxta methodum in Horto regio parisiensi exaratam, anno M.DCC.LXXIV |date=1789 |publisher=apud viduam Herissant et Theophilum Barrois |location=Parisiis|doi=10.5962/bhl.title.284 }}</ref> Bentham and Hooker's ''Genera Plantarum'', almost a century later, sorts the family's genera into three tribes: the Wintereae, including the genera ''Drimys'' and ''Illicium'', the Magnolieae, including the genera ''Talauma, Magnolia, Manglieta, Michelia'', and ''Liriodendron'', and the Schizandreae, including the genera ''Schizandra'' and ''Kadsura''.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Bentham |first1=George |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.5962/bhl.title.747 |title=Genera plantarum :ad exemplaria imprimis in Herberiis Kewensibus servata definita |last2=Hooker |first2=Joseph Dalton |date=1862 |publisher=A.
