Abstract

Fruit and seed morphological characters, in addition to both nucleic acid and seed protein contents in five native species of Brachychiton (B. discolor, B. acerifolius, B. australis, B. populeneus and B. rupestris) have been studied. 56 selected characters of such studies are subjected to numerical analysis which resulted a dendrogram classifying the studied spp. into 2 groups. The 1st includes B. discolor which is similar to the 2nd (containing the 4 remainders) at a least similarity % level.
