Phylogeny of Red Plant Derivatives

As you might have noticed, I've been uploading a lot of art related to a science fiction short novel I've been writing (read it here [link] ). It includes quite a bit of speculative biology, so I thought it might be useful to include some relevant charts and diagrams for all you biology nerds.

This is the evolutionary tree of all known alien species that belong to the red plant derivative clade, as discovered and cataloged by the crews of the Odyssey missions to the planet Ilion. I'll update this as needed.

Species I've illustrated and written up so far:

Bald-necked bottleneck [link]
Sawback Thrax [link]
Firebear [link]
Calavera Seedpod (related to, but not a member of the RPD phylum) [link]
Pantopods, aquatics, vermovillosa, banded bottleneck, thraxes, spoonworms, and more [link]
Wooly Starrus [link]
Star Walrus [link] and [link]
Hexapedes [link]

The drawings on the tree are pen, all the lines and text were made in MS Paint.
