Abstract: We introduce a notion of finite sampling consistency for phylogenetic trees and show that the set of finitely sampling consistent and exchangeable distributions on n leaf phylogenetic trees is a polytope. We use this polytope to show that the set of all exchangeable and infinite sampling consistent distributions on 4 leaf phylogenetic trees is exactly Aldous' beta-splitting model and give a description of some of the vertices for the polytope of distributions on 5 leaves. We also introduce a new semialgebraic set of exchangeable and sampling consistent models we call the multinomial model and use it to characterize the set of exchangeable and sampling consistent distributions.
