Lawsonia inermis (henna) is a commercially important dye yielding small tree distributed in arid and semi arid regions of the tropics. This study was conducted for comparing the morphological characteristics of L. inermis collections. In the present study seventeen collections of L. inermis from various parts of Kerala State, India were evaluated on the basis of seventeen quantitative morphological traits and lawsone content. One way ANOVA on all the quantitative traits showed significant variations. The dendrogram generated on the basis of metric traits revealed collection L6 and L14 formed as a diverged distinct cluster from all other genotypes. Principal components analysis was performed to identify the significant characters and it revealed that quantitative characters like length of leaf ( 0.511mm), width of leaf (0.388mm), diameter of corolla (0.283mm), length of fruit (0.282mm), width of fruit (0.271mm) and diameter of calyx (0.258mm). Biochemical character viz., lawsone content was significantly (P<0.05) high in collection L14. The variability records in L. inermis can be implied to screen superior germplasm on the basis of desirable quality traits such as leaf characters and lawsone content. The present study clearly emphasis the ability of morphological markers in characterization and utilization of plant genetic resource.
