      Sorry, I kind of thought it was not as hot. I mean, compared to the whole African vs. Australian Acacia affair - oops!

        I was kidding. Although I have legitimately seen one entire career come tumbling during the advent of molecular plant phylogeny.

          I know and it made me laugh so hard I had to explain it to my spouse! I tried to play along, but I guess text is not the right medium for that :D

          And yeah, molecular phylogeny is the source of real drama sometimes ;)
