Phylogenetic studies of 21 species of Onobrychis genus as ingroups in addition to Ebenus stellata as an outgroups from National Plant Gene Bank of Iran were conducted based on morphological traits and molecular experiments using nrDNA ITS sequences. Base on phylogenetic analysis two similar species ie: O. altissima and O. viciifolia could be detected from each other. The results of morphological and molecular analyses showed the most phylogenetical relationships are between O. crista-galli var. trilophocarpos and O. cristagalli var. crista-galli, O. chorassanica and O. mazaderanica, O. amoena subsp. amoena and O. amoena subsp. meshedensis, O. bungei and O. megataphros, O. aucheri subsp. psammophila and O. aucheri subsp. tehranica. This information can be used in determining the degree of success of inter-specific hybridization between different species in onobrychis genus. Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses non of the sections of onobrychis genus were recognized monophyletic.
