review text: The occurrence of multifurcations in essentially binary trees is investigated with respect to two methods for testing growth models, viz. subtree partition analysis and vertex analysis. It is shown that under certain conditions multifurcations may be incorporated in the analysis. Although the conditions are more restrictive for subtree partition analysis only minor loss of information occurs if forbidden multifurcations are simply ignored.
