This data table says that Rose of Sharon and Iris are more closely related than either of them are to millet. This is surprising because Millet and Rose of Sharon are both Dicots, so we thought that they would evolutionarily be closer, but they are not. I trust this evidence because we didn't get any real evidence from our microscopes, but I wonder if it would be any different if we could have counted the spores on the pollen. Maybe we used the wrong type of Iris that is not actually a monocot, or something like that.
