### Usage

    gen.star.tree(N, total.height = 1)

### Arguments

`N` | number of leaves.
`total.height` | total tree height.

### Details

A tree with a star shape means that all internal branches are 0 and all leaf branches are equal.

This function combining with `gen.seq.HKY` or `gen.seq.SNP` is used in simulation studies and bootstrap tree samples
