\title{All subtrees of a Phylogenetic Tree}
\usage{
subtrees(tree, wait=FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{tree}{an object of class \code{"phylo"}.}
\item{wait}{a logical indicating whether the node beeing processed should be printed (useful for big phylogenies).}
}

\value{
\code{subtrees} returns a list of trees of class \code{"phylo"} and
returns invisibly for each subtree a list with the following
components:
\item{tip.label}{}
\item{node.label}{}
\item{Ntip}{}
\item{Nnode}{}
}
\examples{
### Random tree with 12 leaves
phy<-rtree(12)
par(mfrow=c(4,3))
plot(phy, sub="Complete tree")
### Extract the subtrees
l<-subtrees(phy)
### plot all the subtrees
for (i in 1:11) plot(l[[i]], sub=paste("Node", l[[i]]$node.label[1]))
par(mfrow=c(1,1))
