Development is composed of two phenomena, growth and differentiation. The latter is the progressive diversification of structure and function of cells in an organism or the acquisition of differences during development [47]. Differentiation encompasses both morphological differentiation (morphogenesis) and chemical differentiation (secondary metabolism). Secondary metabolites produced by chemical differentiation processes also function in morphological and chemical differentiation.

In this chapter we optimize characters relating to the palm androecium on the recently published supertree by Baker et al. (2009). This provides insights into the role of stamen synorganization and morphology, in the diversification of palms in particular, and in monocots and flowering plants in general.
