#Connected Components in an MAAF: 9

The leaf sets of the trees in an MAAF are: 
( dummy 2 3 10 5 14 ) ( 8 ) ( 11 ) ( 13 ) ( 4 ) ( 6 ) ( 1 ) ( 7 ) ( 9 ) ( 12 ) 

The extended Newick representation of a network (constructed from the MAAF) with the minimum number of reticulation vertices is:
(12#H6,(9#H7,(1#H10,(((13#H4,(((14,8#H2),11#H3),4#H5)),6#H9),(8#H2,(11#H3,(13#H4,(4#H5,((12#H6,9#H7),(8#H2,(11#H3,(((4#H5,13#H4),(6#H9,(9#H7,12#H6))),(8#H2,(11#H3,((4#H5,13#H4),(8#H2,(11#H3,(13#H4,(((((6#H9,((5,(6#H9,1#H10)),1#H10)),(12#H6,9#H7)),1#H10),(6#H9,(1#H10,(((((((10,7#H14),(3,2)),9#H7),12#H6),7#H14),7#H14),7#H14)))),(4#H5,7#H14))))))))))))))))))))
