A. frigidus and A. stocksii were selected as outgroups based on previous studies. Based upon our results, species of sect. Ornithopodium along with those of sect. Onobrychoidei were placed within a single large clade with high support and are closely related taxa. Species from section Dissitiflori formed a distinct clade from the two other studied sections. Based on our molecular and morphological data, Astragalus pravitzii Podlech, which had been recently transferred to the section Ornithopodium from the section Dissitiflori, was not affiliated with that section. https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17430_6e2a6d2c4d1e8d1c69ea884e6d2325c5.pdf
