cladogram

(klăd′ə-grăm′, klā′də-)

A branching, treelike diagram in which the endpoints of the branches represent individual species of organisms. It is used to illustrate phylogenetic relationships and to show points at which various species are presumed to have diverged from common ancestral forms.

cladogram

a geneological DENDROGRAM based on the principles of CLADISTICS in which rates of evolutionary divergence are ignored.
