Talk:Frankineae

Removal of poorly sourced statement
This article declared that Frankineae is polyphyletic and cited the following source: I removed the statement because the source does not explicitly state that Frankineae is polyphyletic; in fact it doesn't mention Frankineae at all. Neither can the polyphyly (or monophyly) of Frankineae be inferred from the document (which would constitute original research rather than a citation of someone else's ideas). The subordinate families (only Frankiaceae is not represented) branch at the same time in the 16S trees. This simply means that the 16S trees lack sufficient resolution to make an assertion either way about the monophyly of Frankineae. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.104.239.248 (talk) 18:58, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
