Botany: New home for tiny aquatics
Else Marie Friis1 & Peter Crane2
Abstract
A shake-up of current thinking about the evolution of the angiosperms — the flowering plants — is a consequence of the relocation of a hitherto obscure branch on the angiosperm evolutionary tree.
Many new constellations in the angiosperm evolutionary tree have come to light as relationships within the flowering plants have been explored using molecular analyses1, 2. Some of these changes were not unexpected.
