Two hundred genotypes of Coriandrum sanvum L. from Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, and West Bengal of India and U.S.A. were grouped into six clusters. D2 values between genotypes ranged from 0.5 to 327. Intracluster D values ranged between 0 and 5.03 and intercluster between 5.26 and 17.30. Genetic diversity and geographic distribution were not related. UD 324 originating from Nagore district of Rajasthan was widely divergent from all others. At least one genotype of Rajasthan was present in all the six clusters. Further, at least one genotype from U.S.A. was present in four of the six clusters. The first two canonical vectors accounted for 78% of total genetic variation.
