The pod morphological and anatomical characters of 20 species, one sub‐species and five varieties of Astragalus out of the 32 species growing in Egypt were investigated by light and scanning eletron microscopy, and numerically analysed to show the inter‐ as well as the infra‐specific relationships. It was concluded that both A. trimestris and A. corrugatus show marked affinity to other species investigated in the present work (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
