Generally, the shoots and types of leaves, raceme, flower, fruit, and type of seeds were analyzed in the study. High variation was recorded among morphologic characters of sainfoin. Hierarchical Cluster analysis showed relationship between the species due to morphological characteristics ending up with three groups. It is assumed that these results will be beneficial for breeding of sainfoin in the future. Keywords : Onobrychis sp., stem, leaf, flower, hierarchical, cluster
