Hmm. I should try solutions before I post them. You need to make sure
that each tree in the list is of class phylo too. This works:
phylist<-read.tree(text="((((A:0.21,B:0.21):0.28,C:0.49):0.13,D:0.62):0.38,E:1.00);((((A:0.21,B:0.21):0.28,C:0.49):0.13,D:0.62):0.38,E:1.00);")
newnames<-c("G","H","I","J","K")
newlist <- lapply(phylist,
function(z) {
z$tip.label <- c("G","H","I","J","K")
class(z) <- "phylo"
z
})
class(newlist) <- "multiPhylo"
write.tree(newlist,file="newlist")
