Phylogenetic relationships among 14 species of bamboo were established on the basis of morphological and biochemical parameters. Based on the pooled data analysis, Euclidean phenogram classified forteen species into five hierarchical clusters. Cluster IAaa had maximum number of species (7), cluster IAab had four species whereas cluster IAb comprises of Bambusa tulda, cluster IB had Bambusa multiplex and Cluster II had Bambusa vulgaris. The Euclidean distance coefficient was ranged from 0.449 to 2.242. The minimum genetic distance (0.449) was recorded between Melocanna baccifera and Bambusa bambos, while the maximum genetic distance (2.276) was found between Bambusa vulgaris and Bambusa multiplex. The phylogenetic relationships based on the dendrogram and principal component analysis was in accordance with the morphological bamboo classification system.
