[Taxacom] Catalog of Life Taxonomic Tree

[Kenneth Kinman]

Hi all,                  I can't say that I would recommend this so-called "tree".  It is not only incomplete, but it is not really a tree (just a series of interconnected bushes).
       The most noticeable is the omission of a lot of photosynthetic phyla, such as Chlorophyta and Rhodophyta, and especially most taxa in Kingdom Chromista (where are the diatoms, phaeophytes, xanthophytes, chrysophytes, etc.).  This "tree" needs a lot of work.
