From page 213...
... It has been completely sequenced in six very diverse plants and investigated for various purposes in several score species, yielding a tremendous wealth of information available for comparative evolutionary investigations. Clegg and his colleagues, in Chapter 11, uncover a complex evolutionary pattern.

From page 214...
... Moreover, the number of different amino acids that can occur at any particular variable site is very small, limited to 2= alternatives. The conclusion is that molecular clocks have complex features that must be ascertained before drawing out inferences about the topology and timing of historical relationships.
