08-24-2021-0844 - plesiomorphy symplesiomorphy Pseudoplesiomorphy

 In phylogenetics, a plesiomorphy (“near form”) is an ancestral character state. A symplesiomorphy ( from syn- “together”)[3] is a plesiomorphy shared by two or more taxa (including taxa earlier in the clade). Pseudoplesiomorphy is any trait that can neither be identified as a plesiomorphy nor as an apomorphy.[4]

Alternative terms are plesiomorphic character and symplesiomorphic character respectively, or plesiomorphic trait and symplesiomorphic trait respectively.

The term symplesiomorphy was introduced in 1950 by German entomologist Willi Hennig.
