Re: [Aroid-l] Adelonema peltata.

From: Peter Boyce <phymatarum at gmail.com> on 2015.09.10 at 00:41:53(23481) Hi Dylan, Clades without molecular clock restraints are rotational, so you cannot say basal in this instance - they are simply sister to one-another. However, Nauheimer, Metzler & Renner [New Phytologist 195(4): 938–950] have a dated tree which places Adelomena basal to a Philodendron+Homalomena+Furtadoa clade. P.

Could one say that Homalomena is sister to Adelonema+Philodendron?
