Some shorter ones (which are what got me started on this):
PHYLA, plural of
PHYLUM, a taxanomic division- also PHYLAR
PHYLAE, plural of
PHYLE, a political subdivision in ancient Greece- also PHYLIC
Of course, there's the delicious PHYLLO, very thin pastry dough (also FILO, FILLO)
but here are the cool extensions:
PHYLLOCLADE
PHYLLOTAXIS, PHYLLOTAXES, PHYLLOTAXIES, PHYLLOTAXY
PHYLLOGENETIC, PHYLLOGENY/IES
PHYLLOXERA(S)
That's not all of them, feel free to post your favorite that I left out.

I profiled PHYLLOME ("a leaf of a plant") back in the autumn, but it was before I started the blog. Another interesting phyll- word is APHYLLY ("the state of being leafless").
