Figure 3

Dendrogram of HCA for the 18 tested samples of E. rutaecarpa. The hierarchical clustering was done by Minitab 15.0 software. Ward’s method was applied, and Euclidean distance was selected as a measurement. 18 batches of E. rutaecarpa were divided into two broad categories. Samples numbers 8 and 17 were in category I, and the other samples were in category II, which was divided into two clusters again. Samples numbers 1, 3, and 5 were in cluster A, and the others were in cluster B.
