Analysis: The phylogenetic trees that we have created are in agreement. In terms of pollen morphology relations, the Daisy (Bellis perennis) and Fuchsia (Fuchsia magellanica) are closer related to each other then either are to the Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodar.) From what we know about the Daisy flower and the Fuchsia, it makes sense that they are closer in relation, because they are both angiosperms that rely on a subject to bring them the pollen they need in order to reproduce. Fuchsia relies on hummingbirds while the Daisy relies on insects such as bees. The Deodar Cedar is much different from these two plants since it is a gymnosperm and relies solely on wind pollination for its annual intake of pollen.
