The few of 300000 plant species in the world can be identified based on traditional methods. Classification and identification of plant species remains as a significant challenge for taxonomists. The emergence of DNA barcoding has had a positive impact on biodiversity classification and identification. In this approach, the species of life is recognized with speed, accuracy and low cost by using of short DNA fragment from a special and standard genome. Because of the importance of Fabaceae in human life, 22 sequences of the nrDNA ITS in Fabaceae members obtained from GenBank and analyzed by PAUP* software. Based on the results all of the species recognized with this marker. Therefore the nrDNA ITS recognize and present as an appropriate species marker in Fabaceae.
