AB  - About twenty six (26) local accessions and three (3) exotic 
  lines of okra were collected from 8 geographic regions of Ghana. Their agro-morphological 
  traits were evaluated under field conditions on the research fields of the Biotechnology 
  and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute (BNARI), using the International 
  Plant Genetic Research Institute (IPGRI) descriptor lists for okra. Hierarchical 
  cluster analysis of results groupedthe accessionsinto 2 major clusters and subsequently 
  into 5 sub-clusters based on the qualitative characters studied. The pattern 
  of clustering did not indicate any relationship with geographic origin of collection. 
  The 2 most divergent accessions were Cs-Legon (local accession) and Clemson 
  Spineless (exotic line).
