Sagitarria and Pontederia are aquatic monocots so I think this definitely needs a cleanup
I think Michelia may have been sunk altogether as a genus, based on POWO.
Also based on this, Michelia is now a mere section: https://www.magnoliasociety.org/ClassificationArticle
Here's a related flag https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/453181
I'm supportive of following POWO to sink Michelia into Magnolia

Swaps should be committed in the above order.
Looks great kitty12 thanks for making. I added links back to this flag in the description and committed them
POWO has the three iNat Michelia listed species as synonyms of Magnolia species. But POWO also has other genera (Barringtonia, Saggitaria, Pontederia) as synonyms. Is this part of a general Michelia clean-up? I see the other three genera already exist on iNat.
