_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This data set describes the phylogeny of 11 flowers as reported by
     Morales (2000). It also gives morphologic and demographic traits
     corresponding to these 11 species.

     data(tithonia)

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     'tithonia' is a list containing the 2 following objects :

     _t_r_e is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick
          format. 

     _t_a_b is a data frame with 11 species and 14 traits (6 morphologic
          traits and 8 demographic).    

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Variables of 'tithonia$tab' are the following ones : 
      morho1: is a numeric vector that describes the seed size (mm)
      morho2: is a numeric vector that describes the flower size (mm)
      morho3: is a numeric vector that describes the female leaf size
     (cm)
      morho4: is a numeric vector that describes the head size (mm)
      morho5: is a integer vector that describes the number of flowers
     per head

     per head 
      demo7: is a numeric vector that describes the seedling height
     (cm)
      demo8: is a numeric vector that describes the growth rate
     (cm/day)
      demo9: is a numeric vector that describes the germination time
      demo10: is a numeric vector that describes the establishment (per
     cent)
      demo11: is a numeric vector that describes the viability (per
     cent)
      demo12: is a numeric vector that describes the germination (per
     cent)
      demo13: is a integer vector that describes the resource
     allocation
      demo14: is a numeric vector that describes the adult height (m)
