ABSTRACT
Urginea indica is a morphologically variable species and differs both in vegetative and floral
characters. 7 diploid accessions of Urginea indica were collected from different parts of India under
standardized conditions and measured traits related to morphology, growth and phenology. The trait
measurements revealed substantial phenotypic variations among the accessions. The morphometric
studies were based on twenty two characters. The results obtained have shown that vegetative
characters deviated significantly and also showed differences in ecological preferences. Minor
differences were observed in reproductive characters. Variation in flowering and blooming time also
played a role in isolation of these accessions. These morphological differences would be worth in
recognizing them as a separate sub specific taxon.
Keywords: Urginea indica, Morphometrics, accessions, vegetative characters.
