The evaluation and characterisation of germplasm gives considerable data to classify the material. The classification as multivariate basis rather than univariate is desirable. An attempt was made to classify 216 assessions of uridbean germplasm by cluster analysis. It gave convenient grouping of 12 clusters with like genotypes within clusters for different traits. The implications of classificatory approach have been discussed.
