Abstract

A numerical taxonomic study was conducted on 70 taxa of Formosan Labiatae. Three clustering methods were employed using a modified Grower's generalized similarity coefficients based on 76 morphological characters. The results are drawn into three phenograms which all reveal essentially similar intra and inter-generic arrangrments indicating that the phenetic relationships between the taxa at the genus level corresponds to traditional taxonomy but the groupings above the genus level are distinct.
