This data set describes the phylogeny of 17 flowers as reported by Ackerly and Donoghue (1998). It also gives 31 traits corresponding to these 17 species.
tithonia
is a list containing the 2 following objects : -
tre: a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick format.
-
tab: a data frame with 17 species and 31 traits.
This dataset replaces the former version in ade4.
