Appendix A. Phylogenetic trees of woody plants and woody species abundances at Chamela Biological Station, Jalisco, México.
FIG. A1 (below). The tree of the overall tree community has been split up into subtrees, as mapped in the leading, general tree, to make the relevant information more readable. Congeneric pairs are indicated by black vertical bars next to the pair; non-congeneric (confamilial) pairs are indicated by red vertical bars. The Asteridae are presented in a single tree. Note that while cactus may not generally be considered woody species, in the dry forest of Chamela they are a significant component of the canopy.

Authorities for resolution of the Chamela phylogenetic tree below the family level.
In many cases, a taxon, either family or genus, contained only two species, so no additional information was needed than that contained within the familial backbone. Where this was not the case, the following authorities were used to determine closest relatives.
