Table 2 The estimated values for UA of Hennigian comb-shaped trees when n is large for the number of states N = 2, ..., 50.

Estimated values of the limiting UA for Hennigian trees
N	2	3	4	5	10	15	20	30	40	50
UA	0.3333	0.1765	0.1126	0.0797	0.0274	0.0145	0.0098	0.0053	0.0034	0.0022

Table 2 lists the estimated value of UA of Hennigian trees when n is large by using Matlab. For convenience, we only show the values for N = 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50.
