From: A comparative analysis of pollinator type and pollen ornamentation in the Araceae and the Arecaceae, two unrelated families of the monocots

Figure 2

Evolution of ornamentation and pollination in Araceae with polymorphic species removed. A. Optimization of ornamentation type coded as 'Other-O' (white) and 'Psilate/Verrucate' (black). B. Optimization of pollination type coded as 'Other-P' (white) and 'Beetle' (black). The bicoloured branches indicate an equivocal inference of the ancestral character state. The transitions towards 'Beetle' pollination and 'Psilate/Verrucate' ornamentation are indicated by full crossbars and the reversals towards 'Other-P' pollination and 'Other-O' ornamentation are indicated by open crossbars (red and blue crossbars correspond respectively to ACCTRAN and DELTRAN optimizations). Species names are coloured according to the subfamilies (Orontioideae in pink, Monsteroideae in blue, Lasioideae in orange, Calloideae in green and Aroideae in red).
