SYEDA SALEHA TAHIR*, MUHAMMAD TAHIR M. RAJPUT* AND SYED ZAHOOR HUSSAIN

Abstract: Numerical technique has been used to construct the cladogram to depict the natural relationships among the species of the genus Sibbaldia. The cladistic analysis of the genus is presented with a discussion of characters used and the result suggest the exclusion of S. micropetala from the genus Sibbaldia. The transfer of S.adpressa by Juzepczuk (1941) to the monotypic genus Sibbaldianthae is rejected.
