• Resumen

  • Geranium robertianum is highly adaptable and shows various morphological differences, including the degree of hairiness, growth habit (erect or prostrate) and differences in flowering parts. It has a long history of medicinal use, including relief from toothache and nosebleeds. We have no information on its population genetic structure, genetic diversity and morphological variability in Iran. Therefore, owing to the importance of this plant species, we have studied genetic variability and population structure in seven geographical populations of G. robertianum (Geraniaceae). The results indicated that the geographical populations of G.

    robertianum are well differentiated both in genetic content and in morphological characteristics. A consensus tree based on the morphological and genetic data has separated some of the populations from the others,suggesting existence of ecotypes within this species
