A replicated field experiment was carried out using twelve orange flesh sweet potato genotypes selected at random from the germplasm collection of diverse sources. The germplasm accessions were characterized for 10 morphological traits like plant type, vine pigmentation, abaxial leaf vein pigmentation, type of leaf lobes, number of leaf lobes, mature leaf colour, petiole pigmentation, root shape, root skin colour, root flesh colour. Wide ranges of variations were recorded for most of the traits. The frequency distribution of genotypes for variability in each morphological trait was calculated.
