Etymology

The term 'magnolia' originates from the name of the French botanist Pierre Magnol, who lived in the 17th century. He was the first to systematically categorize these plants and recognize their significance in the botanical world. The genus was named in his honor. Magnolias have a long evolutionary history, dating back over 95 million years, making them one of the oldest flowering plant families. Their fossils have been found in regions that were once tropical, which helps explain their wide distribution today. Magnolias have been cherished not just for their stunning flowers but also for their role in traditional medicine in different cultures. The popularity of magnolia trees in gardens can be traced back to their introduction to Europe from Asia and the Americas in the 18th century.
