To draw : A phylogeny of angiosperms , assuming that all the star anise relatives have four-celled female gametophytes and a diploid endosperm, as per the given data. Concept introduction: Phylogenetics is the branch of science that deals with estimating and analyzing evolutionary relatedness among various groups of organisms. It is based on the morphological as well as nucleic acid similarity. In phylogenetic studies, the most convenient way of visualizing evolutionary connection among a group of organisms is through phylogenetic trees, which is represented by line and nodes.
