@Article{, title={A Phenetic Study of the Native Species of the Family Fabaceae Lindl. in Iraq.}, author={Serwan T. S. Al-dabbagh and Chnar Najmaddin Fathulla}, journal={Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences مجلة زانكۆ للعلوم الصرفة والتطبيقية}, volume={34}, number={2}, pages={43-52}, year={2022}, abstract={Distinguishable morphological qualitative and quantitative traits for 310 native taxa of 46 genera within the Fabaceae family were selected. The taxa were treated numerically analyzed as OTUs; based on the selected characteristics variations the UPGMA dendrograms by the MVSP windows program were constructed. The relationships among studied taxa were determined and illustrated. The results exhibited that all taxa are monophyletic due to the similarity in the specific characteristics of the family, the divergences among groups, or among taxa of a single group caused by dissimilarities. At different levels, three groups and six sub-groups were set among the genera, the genus Astragalus L. had the most distance relationship from other genera at level GGSc=0.67, due to the abundance of its taxa and a large number of differences among them. The relationship degrees among all studied taxa except Astragalus taxa analyzed, two groups and seven subgroups were identified at levels GGSc= 0.74 and GGSc= 0.77, detailed and illustrated.
