The aim of this research is to classify the species of this genus that are distributed in the city of Aleppo. The study included 33 qualitative traits and 29 quantitative traits, the most important of which are the characteristics of flowers, fruits, mericarps, pollen grains and seeds. The numerical classification was studied using the hierarchical cluster analysis algorithm in SPSS version (23). Five species and one class have been classified, belonging to four Section and under two Genus (G. sect. <em>Geranium<\/em> and <em>Tuberosa <\/em>of subgen. <em>Geranium<\/em>; sect. <em>Batrachioidea<\/em> and <em>Roberta<\/em> of subgen. <em>Robertium<\/em>). Species differed in most of the quantitative traits with significant differences, such as the length of the mericarp (<em>G. libanoticum<\/em> 5 mm and <em>G. molle<\/em> 1.85), The dimensions of the elongated seeds of <em>G. purpureum<\/em> were (2.09\u00d70.99) mm, while the seeds of semi-spherical shape of <em>G. rotundifolium<\/em> were of dimensions (1.82\u00d71.59) mm. and the length of the beak (<em>G. purpureum<\/em> 2.03 cm and <em>G. molle<\/em> 0.69). The studied species had 4 patterns of dispersal with high taxonomic value, and a taxonomic key was established based on the qualitative traits being more stable and less affected by environmental conditions. A Dendrogram was created for the qualitative and quantitative traits together, which differed from the qualitative Dendro, showing the effect of the interaction between genes and the environment. In this study, the presence of <em>G. libanoticum<\/em> was confirmed in the Syrian flora, and <em>G. purpureum, G. molle<\/em> var. <em>album<\/em> were recorded for the first time in Aleppo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> <em>Geranium<\/em>, Geraniaceae, mericarp, pollen grains, seeds, numerical taxonomy, Aleppo city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 17px;\">Full paper in Arabic:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v11n4p5.pdf\">pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abdel Aleem Bello (1) and Aline Batch*(1) (1) .
