A molecular study undertaken in 2000 found Tropaeolum to be paraphyletic when the other two genera are segregated, so Magallan and Trophaeastrum were reduced to synonyms of Tropaeolum.
The monotypic genus Magallan was characterised by having winged fruit, and the two species of Trophaeastrum lacked spurs.
