Abstract:
Numerical analysis based on seed morphological characters of 38 taxa belonging to the family Orobanchaceae was carried out. Seed macro and micro-morphological characters were found useful to trace the phylogenetic relationship within the family Orobanchaceae. The seed morphological data fully support the placement of Scrophs genera viz., Euphrasia, Leptorhabdos, Lindenbergia, Pedicularis and Striga within the family Orobanchaceae.
