compiled from recent cladistic analyses cited in the text. Jackknife support
is given on the branches (a dash for values <50%), first jackknife values
from analysis of 545 sequences of the rbcL, atpB, and 18S
rDNA genes (D. E. Soltis, M. W. Chase, P. S. Soltis, D. Albach, M. E. Mort,
V. Savolainen, M. Zanis, and J. S. Farris, unpublished, in preparation)
and second jackknife values from analysis of 2538 rbcL sequences
(Källersjö et al., 1998).
