Abstract


SDS-PAGE of seed protein profiles and the SEM of seed coat surface patterns were studied in the related taxa Caesalpinia gilliesii, C. pulcherrima, C. sepiaria and Delonix regia. The obtained characters were used as one set of data and analyzed using the NTSYS-pc program. The dendrogram produced showed a closer relationship between D. regia & C. pulcherrima. Taxonomic relationships between the four taxa were discussed in the light of their morphological, anatomical, embryological and phytochemical criteria. Merging of C. pulcherrima in the genus Delonix has been suggested.
