I don't know of one offhand; but it shouldn't be difficult to create one
using a good published paper. Personally, I might go with an early
evolution of land plants study by Mishler and others....
Mishler, B. D. and S. P. Churchill. 1984. A cladistic approach to the
phylogeny of the bryophytes. Brittonia 36: 406-424.
Mishler, B. D. and S. P. Churchill. 1985. Transition to a land flora:
phylogenetic relationships of the green algae and bryophytes. Cladistics
1: 305-328.
Graham, L. E., C. F. Delwiche and B. D. Mishler. 1991. Phylogenetic
connections between the "green algae" and "bryophytes". Advances in
Bryology 4: 213-244.

Subject: MacClade Examples for Plants?
Dear Plant Ed,
I am presenting some very elementary aspects of cladistics to a class,
and I'd like to use MacClade for a live demonstration. The program
comes with a very nice data matrix and some sample trees dealing with
the evolution of the vertebrates; does anyone know of a similar
ready-made data matrix for plants? Perhaps for dividing up the major
groups of plants? I'd love to see a URL or some data...
