Abstract
EVOLUTIONARY progress in the plant kingdom is usually evaluated on a structural basis; only a few attempts have been made to utilize chemical facts in phylogenetic reasoning. The concomitant changes in the morphology and chemistry of Eucalyptus 1 and Callitris 2 species were studied by Baker and Smith. McNair correlated the evolutionary status of plant families with the chemistry of their constituents3,4.
