A representative sample of Saccharum of ficinarum L. germplasm comprising 94 clones, drawn. from different geographic sources, was evaluated for its diversity using nonhierarchical Euclidian duster analysis. All the clones were grouped into nine dusters, which showed considerable diversity for yield and quality traits. There was no relationship between geographic origin of the clones and their dustering pattern.
