Answer #2 Magnolia is a large genus of about 210[1] flowering plant species in the
subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae.The natural range of Magnolia
species is rather scattered. It includes eastern North America, Central America
and the West Indies and east and southeast Asia. Some species are found in South
America. Today many species of Magnolia and an ever increasing number of hybrids
can also be found as ornamental trees in large parts of North America, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand.The genus is named after Pierre Magnol, a botanist
from Montpellier in France. See Origin of the name Magnolia.Magnolia is an
ancient genus. Having evolved before bees appeared, the flowers developed to
encourage pollination by beetles. As a result, the carpels of Magnolia flowers
are tough, to avoid damage by eating and crawling beetles. Fossilised specimens
of M. acuminata have been found dating to 20 million years ago, and of plants
identifiably belonging to the Magnoliaceae dating back to 95 million years ago.
Another primitive aspect of Magnolias is their lack of distinct sepals or
petals. The term tepal has been coined to refer to the intermediate element that
Magnolia has instead. Magnolias are used as food plants by the larvae of some
Lepidoptera species including Giant Leopard Moth.The Magnolia is the official
state flower of both Mississippi and Louisiana[2]. Mississippi's state nickname
is the "Magnolia State", because of the abundance of magnolias in the state. The
magnolia is also the official state tree of Mississippi. - answered by michelle_4023_87
