Phylogenetic Tree Diagrams

Evolutionary analysis produces phylogenetic trees, which represent the evolutionary relationships among a set of species.

Figure 1 shows clades down to order for all vascular plants. In this section we produce similar diagrams for trees using the ETE Toolkit based on the NCBI database. Chat GPT was not used to generate any content on this page.

Each tree genus node is labeled with some common species names in that genera. These names were culled from The Hutchinson Dictionary of Plant Names (2006).

Tree Genera by Orders

Each tree genus is marked with a large green dot. Common names for species in the genus are shown below the genus name. If there are less than four species in the genus, then all common names are shown, otherwise a sample of four is displayed along with an indication of the number of species in square brackets. The figures show all orders in Tracheophyta that include trees. A subset of more common trees is shown here.
