Penalized likelihood (PL) point represents the point age estimation in the maximum likelihood best tree. PL min and PL max represent the minimum and maximum estimations by 1,000 maximum likelihood bootstrap trees. Ma: million years ago. MRCA: most recent common ancestor. J-C-HCX: Juniperus-Cupressus-Hesperocyparis-Callitropsis-Xanthocyparis.
