• Gnetales and conifers are separate, monophyletic groups, (i.e. not nested within one another).
• Additionally, our results suggest Gnetales may indeed be the sister group to the rest of the extant gymnosperms.
• Figure 2, together with our observations in serial addition experiments, supports the basal placement of Gnetales within the gymnosperms.
• When the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas and/or the moss Physcomitrella are included, cycads and Ginkgo nest within the conifers, and Gnetales appear basal.
