Both analyses recovered two clades (englehardoids^([sic]) and juglandoids) within the family [Juglandaceae], and the strict consensus trees resulting from each analysis were similar. The positions of the fossil taxa were also similar between analyses, the biggest difference being that Paleooreomunnea stoneana Dilcher, Potter & Crepet (a fruit taxon; Dilcher et al., 1976) grouped with the juglandoids in the simultaneous but not the molecular scaffold analysis. […] Although the randomly generates pseudofossils were seldom sister to their parent species in the resultant topologies, they did place “in the correct local clade, and neither of the two large clades (engelhardioids or juglandoids) was disrupted” (Manos et al., 2007: 422); “[r]emoval of suites of organ-specific characters did not show appreciably different results” (Manos et al., 2007: 422).

When grown in dilute solutions the agriot caused the evaporation through its leaves of twice as much water, and the sweet cherry under the same conditions of a third more water, than when the solutions were more concentrated.
