Abstract
Leaves of 50 specimens under the genera Rhaphidophora and Epipremnum were measured and characterized using the Manual of Leaf Architecture. The leaf characters were compared and subjected to phenetic investigation using cluster analysis with the aid of a computer software, PC-ORD (ver 2.11). Generally, the leaves may be categorized into two groups based on lobation. The results of the cluster analyis support the transfer of R. korthalsii to the genus Epipremnum. Further, the leaf morphology was able to define the interspecific relationship within Rhaphidophora. However, in establishing the intergeneric relationship between Epipremnum and Rhaphidophora, the leaf morphology does not offer conclusive evidence.
期刊介绍：
The Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology (Print ISSN: 1908-6865; Online ISSN: 2508-0342) is an annual, peer-reviewed journal in English that publishes high quality reports of original research and reviews in the field of Taxonomy & Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology. The PJSB is a CHED recognized journal under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017. It is also included in the Clavariate Analysis (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters) Master Journal List under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews and Biological Abstracts.The PJSB is the official publication of the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (SEC Registration: Association of Philippine Taxonomists, Inc.). The organization financially supports the journal and all its endeavors. The journal aims to build up quality information on animal, plant and microbial diversity in the Philippines. Articles dealing with original research or reviews in Zoological, Botanical or Microbial Systematics, Ecology and Conservation Biology are welcome. Authors are advised to consult a recent issue of PJSB for the current format and style. All manuscripts are reviewed by at least two qualified referees.
