Electrophoretic seed protein profiles, chromosome number and morphological characters of ten species of genus Cassia belonging to two subgenera; Fistula and Senna, are discussed. The phylogenetic relationships between these ten species are also evaluated, based on numerical analysis criterion. According to numerical cluster analysis method the taxa studied are splitting into two groups. Group I (belonging to subgenus Fistula) includes three Cassia spp.
