Figure 4: Outline of cnidarian phylogeny displaying stem-group position of Cambroctoconus orientalis.

The topology is 1 of the 24 trees generated by the initial analysis, which is also found out of the 12 trees obtained by the character-reweighted second run. The tree scores are from the second run. The topology within the crown group cnidarians is consistent with the recent cnidarian tree, based on the molecular data20. CI, consistency index; RI, retention index; RC, rescaled consistency index; TL, tree length.
