Cecile makes a good point. In this case if your tree has 36 edges all 
you would have to do is change your code such that:

phylomorphospace(...,control=list(col.edge=setNames(1:36,tree$edge[,2])))

and you'll have the colors that correspond to the numeric vector 1:36. 
(These are just the 8 colors of palette() repeated until you get to 36.)

For the purposes of painting different clades with different colors I 
still recommend paintSubTree.

All the best, Liam
