1 A branch, or a subtree, is a part of a (phylogenetic) [[tree>>doc:stemmatology.Tree.WebHome]] that can be separated from the rest of the tree by removing a single [[edge>>doc:stemmatology.Edge.WebHome]]. For example, in a tree (A, (B, (C, D~)~)~) – see the [[Newick format for trees>>doc:stemmatology.Data formats for trees.WebHome]] – the [[nodes>>doc:stemmatology.Node (vertex).WebHome]] B, C, and D comprise a single branch but the nodes B and C do not. Branches are bound together by //[[doc:stemmatology.Bindefehler.WebHome]]// in the [[common errors method>>doc:stemmatology.Common errors method.WebHome]], and may be called a [[family>>doc:stemmatology.Family (of witnesses).WebHome]].

3 Branch length means the same as [[edge>>doc:stemmatology.Edge.WebHome]] length.
