Abstract

The plant morphology, anatomical characters of stem, SEM of pollen and seed coat surfaces were used to reassess the taxonomic relationships between the genera Bassia, Chenolea and Kochia . In addition, the species of the genus Bassia represented in Egypt were systematically revised. The results clearly indicate considerably differences between the three studied genera and this contradict the grouping of them in one genus as done by Scott (1978) and support the treatment of them as different genera. Bassia aegyptiaca is recorded as species nova.
