Hibiscus, Numerical analysis, Identification, Cluster analysis, DendrogramAbstract
Numerical analyses of 68 morphological characters of 12 varieties/forms belonging to four species of Hibiscus were carried out by calculating Sørensens and Sneath and Sokal similarity coefficients followed by cluster analysis and construction of dendrograms for visual appreciation of taxonomic relationship within this family. The Sørensens similarity coefficient varied between 0.211 and 0.919 and Sneath and Sokal similarity coefficient ranged between 0.142 and 0.890, indicating much variation between the species.
