Short summary
Models for the generation of silicic magmas are divided into two groups: intra-crustal melting and basaltic origin. Peraluminous felsic leucogranites are considered as the only granite examples showing no mantle input. This interpretation is re-evaluated, and we show that leucogranites, as most other crustal granite types, can have a mantle filiation. This stresses the critical importance of the mantle for granite generation and opens the way for unification of silicic magma generation models.
