Abstract
Phylogenetic relationships within Tamaricaceae particularly for genus Tamarix were studied using chloroplast intergenic spacer sequences of psbA-trnH. A total of nine species (four collected from Pakistan and five retrieved from Gen Bank) were utilized for construction of generic tree while thirteen accessions representing other genera of this family were retrieved from GenBank and used to construct family tree. The trees were constructed using Bayesian inference analysis by BEAST software. A strong supported generic monophyly was observed followed by pairing of few species at strong support within the genera than the rest of the accessions. Our data has provided molecular evidence to the previously establishedmorphological treatments.
