Abstract :

Vicia L. is belongs to Fabaceae family which comprise about 150-210 species in the world. This research was studied by field observation to obtaining of morphological variation and attempt to resolved the taxonomic relationships by novel investigations along with a synthesis of the results obtained by previous researchers. Cluster analyses on 85 morphological characters of these taxa were measured. The morph metric data were coded using the statistical software in UPGA method to study the relationships between them. The results don’t supported subgenus of Vicia and Vicilla, but showed the species of Vicia section have closed relationship and the classification of V.faba and V. narbonensis in one section.
