01 · Orientation
A branching history, not a ladder of progress.
Living mosses, ferns, cypresses and Cannabis illustrate surviving branches. They are neither a chain of direct ancestors nor stages ranked from “simple” to “advanced.” Select a clade or open a representative dossier.
02 · Phylogenetic explorer
Follow inheritance. Keep divergence visible.
Move among nested clades without treating their position as rank. Each selection can be read as lineage, trait, ecological context or evidence.

03 · Cannabis ecology
A living lineage in ecological context.
Taxonomy identifies the species. Ecology asks how organisms, environments and human practices interact—and how far each observation can be generalized.
04 · Comparative reading
How do reproductive conditions differ?
This matrix compares selected representatives without treating any condition as universally superior.
| Representative | Vascular tissue | Dominant generation | Gamete or pollen transfer | Dispersal unit | Seed and fruit |

Claims remain connected to their limits.
The explorer separates curated classification, comparative synthesis, bounded observations and model-dependent inference. Source access does not imply permission to redistribute full texts or datasets.
