According to my copy of "The Compleat Cladist", that grouping would be polyphyletic. But I think the distinction is can get fuzzy is some circumstances, therefore I prefer to simply distinguish between monophyletic and non-monophyletic. You can download a copy of "The Compleat Cladist" (that is the correct spelling) if you want more info. Just use the google.
