Karyotypic and morphometric studies were performed on Alhagi species and populations. Morphometric analyses revealed the occurrence of two species in Iran. Both species possessed 2n = 16 chromosome number. Inter‐population and inter‐specific variation was observed in karyotypic features indicating that such data are not useful in taxonomy of the Alhagi species.
