This is way out of my expertise zone, but I'm going to read Knapp et al 
(2005) to get their POV.

Knapp, M., Stockler, K., Havell, D., Delsuc, F., Sebastiani, F. & 
Lockhart, P.J. (2005) Relaxed molecular clock provides evidence for 
long-distance dispersal of Nothofagus (southern beech). PLoS Biology, 3, 
38-43.
