Folks,

Just found a good example of a visual rep of a plant family tree.

See
http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/Jepson_hypertree.html
for the intro and
http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/Jepson_conifers.html
for an example for the conifers.

Works a bit nicer that the toughgraph stuff, apart from a very anoying screen flicker. Very good if we have a strict tree structure, less good if we allow more connections so its no loger a tree.

Rich
