Abstract
Higher plant phylogenetic trees were constructed from the amino acid sequences of cytochrome c from fifteen plants using the ‘ancestral sequence’ and ‘flexible numerical’ methods. The validity of these methods is discussed and the results obtained are compared with existing phylogenies based mainly on morphological characters.Keywords
