Mega-tree of Plants based on Open Tree of Life

Description

This tree was based on Smith and Brown (2018), which in turn was based on the Open Tree of Life. It was copied from 'V.PhyloMaker::GBOTB.extended'. After then, node labels were added for empty ones.

Usage

tree_plant_otl

Format

A phylogeny with class "phylo". It is also a list. Compare with a normal phylo object, it has another data frame 'tree_plant_otl$genus_family_root', which provides the root nodes information for every unique genus and family in the phylogeny. Such information can be used to insert new tips onto the phylogeny later.
