Ln this study, fruit morphology of sections of the genus Onobrychis were examined. Fruit morphology origin, taxonomic position, and phylogeny of the genus are discussed. The hypothesis obtained from a phylogenetic analysis based on fruit morphology suggests the polyphyly of the genus excluding section Dendrobrychis. However, the result supports monophyly of four generic sections, Hymenobrychis + (Heliobrychis + (Lophobrychis + Onobrychis)).
