The morphological and anatomical characteristics of different parts were utilized to reassess the taxonomic status in Scorpiurus L. species naturally growing in Egypt. There were significant differences among the studied species of plants and hence the results clearly showed two distinct species. Based on the studied morphological and anatomical differences S. muricatus L. is differentiated into three different varieties. These are muricatus L., laevigatus (Sibth. & Sm.) Boiss. and subvillosus (L.) Fiori. An artificial key to both species and varieties are provided.
