Description Highly heterogeneous variances were observed for plant height, leaf number, leaf width, internode length and stem girth in open pollinated seedlings of three black pepper (Piper nigrum) cultivars. Collection 1344 had maximum range and coefficient of variation for all the characters followed by Panniyur - 1 and a Karimunda Selection KS-27. Eighteen distinct morphological variants were also recorded in the progeny of Coll. 1344. In some of the progenies, the initial variation sustained with growth for most of the morphological features. No such morphological variants were observed in the progenies of Panniyur - 1 and KS27. The reason for this behaviour of the cultivar is discussed.
