Notes.
- Nt
- number of taxa
- Ns
- number of sequences
a
Values for rbcL may be over-estimated (data usually older than 15 years; sequences show features characteristic for sequencing and editing artifacts).
b
Insufficient data.
c
Values for Quercus and other Fagaceae not including Fagus (see Fagus for max. inter-generic divergence in Fagaceae).
