Multivariate analysis for genetic divergence among thirty Andigena accessions by D2 statistics led to their grouping into seven clusters. D2 estimates were based on eleven characters. The clustering pattern in pooled analysis was used for selecting diverse parents. Cluster VII and IV, VII and V, VII and VI, IV and I, IV and III, and II and VII had high intercluster distances. Cross involving parents from these cluster combinations are recommended for an Andigena breeding programme.
