A basic problem in several areas of classification, particularly evolutionary biology, is the following: amalgamate a collection of leaf-labelled trees (the input trees) into a single output tree (called a supertree), so that the output tree best represents the information displayed in the input trees. In this talk, we discuss a new technique for amalgamating rooted leaf-labelled trees, and list some of its attractive properties.
