The internodal and branching patterns of thirty varieties of Cicer arietinum L. were analyzed using the ideograph technique. Three internode patterns were recognized depending upon the length of successive internodes from the base. Three branching types—basal, sub-basal and central were also discernible. The utility of a study of internode pattern and branching type from the point of view of association with yielding ability and other aspects has been discussed.
