Palm Phylogenomics (DNA & RNA based classification)

[Dimovi]

I have been very interested in palm classifications, but I feel like the old system of classification that relies on physical characteristics is quite outdated.
I have been looking for DNA based classification and I came across the paper I've attached.
I also extracted the Phylogenic tree in a png and svg format.
I find it very interesting, but it is probably most useful if you are into creating mules.

Also, as I suspected parajubaea should perhaps be called paracocos as that is its closest relative.  
Somebody please cross parajubaea with cocos nucifera!!  We need cold hardy coconuts, don't we

I'm also into taxonomy big time. Thanks for creating the topic! This is actually outdated quite a bit. By about 10-11 years. I have to run now, but will post more recent resources later on.
