Phylogenetic tree, w/ 3 specimen: Mimosa Tree, Rhododendron, Day Lily
We based our phylogenetic tree off of the region these plants were found. Primarily, we looked at the pollen characteristics of each plants. We noticed the Rhododendron and Mimosa pollen grains had folds and layers so we assumed those two plants would be more closely related. The Day Lily seemed to have grooves in the grain, unlike the Mimosa and Rhododendron pollen grains, so we placed it father away from both.
