Abstract
A recent study using an extensive data set plus sophisticated analytical tools reconstructed a model of the ancestral angiosperm flower. Although attractive, it presents problems of homology assessment. We discuss its inconsistencies and endorse the use of a comparative model that integrates biological parameters as essential to elucidate floral evolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
