Abstract Numerical taxonomic study of the genus Crotalaria L. in Nigeria was conducted to identify and differentiate some of the species of the genus Crotalaria using numerical taxonomy based on quantitative and qualitative characters. Field work was conducted, where different species were collected and analyzed using multivariate analysis. The results showed that all the collected species are distinct at Euclidian distance of 0.41 in the cluster analysis with Cophenetic correlation (r)=0.964. The ordination analysis based on the results of the PCA, separated the specimens into 7 groups corresponding to the result of cluster analysis. The first two components of the PCA account for 81.5%. The length of petiole, width of leaflet and length of fruit contributed more to showing delimitation among the species.

Over the years much has been written about the organization life cycle, yet there has been remarkably little attention given to the underlying construct of a life-cycle stage. It is proposed in this study that each life-cycle stage consists of a unique configuration of variables related to organization context and structure. Cluster analysis is used to derive a taxonomy of growth stage configurations in a sample of 126 high-technology organizations. The derived configurations suggest a sequence of four growth stages.

The genus Fucus L. is widely distributed through the cool temperate waters of the north Atlantic and north Pacific oceans. The very large number of sub-generic taxa (> 100) previously recognized was reduced by Powell (1963) to only 6 species. In his revision, Powell recognized F. distichus L. emend. Powell as the most variable of these. He classified the intra-specific variation in this species into 4 sub-species: F. distichus distichus, F. distichus anceps (Harv. et Ward ex. Carruthers) Powell, F. distichus evanescens (C.Ag) Powell and F. distichus edentatus (Pyl.) Powell. Because of reports that intermediate forms existed in Iceland (Jonsson, 1903) and the Faeröes (Börgesen, 1902), Powell (1957 a,b) decided to use sub-specific status rather than specific designation for these 4 taxa. However, within North America the 4 sub-species of F. distichus were often assigned specific rank (e.g. Taylor, 1957).
