| Abstract | ||||
| A traditional of eighty-nine characters recorded comparatively representing nineteen taxa of Fabaceae (Leguminosae); eleven taxa belong to three genera of Caesalpinoideae and eight taxa to four genera of Mimosoideae. The characters drawn from vegetative and floral features, in addition to description for the sculpture patterns of the pollen grains and seed coat by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) of the examined taxa. Data matrix subjected to numerical analysis using statistical programs PRIMER (software, version 6.0) and PC-ord version 5 for windows. The dendrograms obtained from this analysis split the examined taxa into two major clusters: the 1st cluster contains representative taxa of the Caesalpinoideae, while the 2nd one includes the representative taxa of the Mimosoideae. The results also agreed with the previous study, which gathered genus Senna, and Cassia within tribe Cassieae (subtribe Cassiinae); genus Dichrostachys and Prsopis within tribe Mimoseae and Albizia lebbeck and Calliandra haematocephala within tribe Ingeae. While separated genus Ceratonia siliqua in different group within tribe Cassieae (subtribe Ceratoniinae). | ||||
