Note that all monophyletic groups include the common ancestor plus all lineages derived from the common ancestor, with lineages terminating in an OTU. Each of the two descendant lineages from one common ancestor is known as sister groups or sister taxa. 7E and F, sister group pairs are: (1) X. lutea and X. alba; (2) X. nigra and X. purpurea; (3) X. nigra + X. purpurea and X. rubens; and (4) X. lutea + X. alba and X. nigra + X. purpurea + X. rubens. The converse of monophyly is paraphyly. A paraphyletic group is one that includes a common ancestor and some, but not all, known descendants of that ancestor.

Lutea + X. alba and X. nigra + X. purpurea + X. rubens. The converse of monophyly is paraphyly. A paraphyletic group is one that includes a common ancestor and some, but not all, known descendants of that ancestor. 7E, a group including ancestor Q and the lineages leading to X. lutea, X. alba, and X. rubens alone is paraphyletic because it has left out two taxa (X. purpurea and X. nigra), which are also descendants of common ancestor Q. Similarly, a polyphyletic group is one containing two or more common ancestors.
