A patrocladogram is a cladistic branching pattern that has been precisely modified by use of patristic distances (i.e., divergences between lineages); a type of phylogram. The patristic distance is defined as, "the number of apomorphic step changes separating two taxa on a cladogram," and is used exclusively to determine the amount of divergence of a characteristic from a common ancestor.
