Yes, as always, read the help file ;-)
?rpart leads you to ?rpart.control, which has argument minsplit with
default 20, which is the minimum number of observations in a node for a
split to be attempted. As 15 is less than 20, the root node could not be
split.
E.g.:
> New<-iris[c(1:7,90:97),1:5]
> New.rpart<-rpart(Species~., data=New, method="class", control =
rpart.control(minsplit = 2))
> New.rpart
n= 15
node), split, n, loss, yval, (yprob)
* denotes terminal node
1) root 15 7 versicolor (0.4666667 0.5333333)
2) Petal.Length< 2.5 7 0 setosa (1.0000000 0.0000000) *
3) Petal.Length>=2.5 8 0 versicolor (0.0000000 1.0000000) *
