Sixty-one accessions of Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk.) including five exotic ones received through the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi were classified based on semi-graphical technique. Genetic diversity proved to be more important than geographical diversity. On the basis of index score values and ray patterns of different traits, promising genotypes which could be utilized in heterosis breeding programme included P 96, P 33, HI 8, HI 4, S 11, P 1 and MS for high seed yield; HI 5, Mutant S, EC 41181-37 T (high-yielding, high number of spikes group) and G 1 (medium-yielding medium number of spikes group) for husk percentage. LYHS (low yield high number of spikes), HYLS (high yield, low number of spikes, and HYMS (high yield, medium number of spikes) groups did not cantain any genotype.
