Leaf Names[edit]

Is it mandatory for the leaves to have names in Newick format? The example list includes a tree with no node names at all, but this seems to violate the grammar given below it. (Unless the terminal "name" can also be an empty string.) 2001:DF0:0:2006:1A03:73FF:FEDC:2A06 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:35, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the terminal Name can also be empty.—Quantling (talk | contribs) 21:21, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Branch Length Units[edit]

The branch lengths supplied in Newick format, what are their units? Vegar Ottesen 14:23, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

dnd extension[edit]

I'm wondering if anyone can make a statement on the main page on why it is so common to have a DND extension for Newick trees.--158.111.4.53 (talk) 15:01, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
