The taxon set included 177 monocots and 41 dicot outgroups. The results provide a comprehensive hypothesis of relationships for the monocots, and evidence concerning the placement of several groups of controversial relationship. Among the major relationships resolved by the analysis are the placement of a clade comprising four dicot groups (Winteraceae, Piperales, Magnoliales, and Laurales) as sister of the monocots; and the inclusion of Acorus within a clade that also includes Araceae, Tofieldiaceae, and a traditionally delimited Alismatales, with Acorus the sister of Alismatales, and with the entire group placed as sister of a clade that includes all other monocots. Nartheciaceae are placed as sister of Pandanales, and Corsiaceae as sister of Liliales. Dioscoreales are placed as the sister of Arecaceae, with this clade constituting an early-diverging lineage within the commelinid monocots. Zingiberales are resolved as the sister group of Commelinales, with Hanguana included in the latter, as sister of a clade consisting of Commelinaceae and Pontederiaceae. Trithuria (Hydatellaceae) and Mayaca appear to be closely related to some or all elements of Xyridaceae. A clade consisting of Joinvillea, Ecdeiocolea, and Poaceae is resolved, with the latter two resolved as sister taxa.} }
