The variability in kokam [Garcinia indica (Thouars) Choisy] available in the NBPGR Regional Station, Vellanikkara, Thrissur, Kerala, India was analysed. Major objectives of the study were to explore and document the variability in vegetative, floral and fruiting characters of G. indica. This study clearly indicated the existence of variability among the accessions/trees being maintained in the field genebank. Three accessions were found to be promising for separate characters such as IC 136687-3 for individual fruit weight, IC 136687-2 for total yield/tree/year and IC 136685-1 for number of fruits/tree/year.
