Angiosperm Phylogeny

Abstract

hypothetical tree based on molecular phylogenetic data (Jan 2012); branch lengths deliberate, not expressing actual time scale - position of many characters on tree unclear; if a character is marked as being a potential synapomorphy at a node/for a clade, this does not mean that all members of that clade possess that character; * orders added as of APG III (2009) - this poster depicts only the largest and most important of the currently accepted approx. 450 families (according to APweb 2012) for family characteristics see: Kubitzki K, ed. (1990 ff).
