An 83-plastid-gene analysis resolves several early eudicot branches in its sampled taxa; this organellar topology is not a global eudicot first appearance or a direct ancestor sequence.

Plastid-gene topology of sampled eudicot lineages; organellar data alone do not establish a global first appearance.
Claim ledger
Leefructus mirus is diagnosed as a basal eudicot from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation, while a separate 83-plastid-gene analysis resolves selected living early eudicot branches; neither result is a literal ancestor sequence.
