Bernard,
I'm not sure this is the paper you're referring to, but several years
I and several of my colleagues came to that conclusion based on an
analysis of 5S rRNA sequences for green plants. Here's the reference:
Steele, K. P., K. E. Holsinger, R. K. Jansen, and D. W. Taylor.
1991. Assessing the reliability of 5S rRNA sequence data for
phylogenetic analysis in green plants. Mol. Biol. Evol.
8:240--248.
