Abstract

Introduction: Smilax L. are climbing plants that two species of Smilax excels L. and Smilax aspera L. grow in Iran. Materials & Methods: In this study, morphological characters of vegetative and generative organs of 17 population of Smilax excelsa from Mazandaran province are studied for the purpose of distinguishing significant characters that effective in segregation of populations. The results were analyzed by SPSS (Ver. 16) software and dendrogram constructed using within group method. Results & discussion: The results have shown that characteristics such as Stem diameter, Stipule length and width max, Stipule length max/Stipule width max, Leaf shape, Leaf length and width max, Leaf length max/Leaf width max, Peduncle length, Inflorescent length max, Inflorescent peduncle length, Flower number in inflorescent and Berry length and width max are effective in taxonomic segregation of populations. Conclusion: The present results showed that there is leaf diversity among the studied populations and characters like Leaf shape, Leaf length and width max, Leaf length max/Leaf width max are variable between populations.
