Toward a phylogenomic classification of magnoliids

Although some of our results are limited by low gene recovery for a number of taxa and significant gene tree conflict for some relationships, this study represents a significant step toward reconstructing the evolutionary history of a major lineage of angiosperms. Based on these results, we present an updated phylogenetic classification for magnoliids, recognizing 21 families, summarizing previously established subfamilies and tribes, and describing new tribes for Myristicaceae.
