Abstract
Variations with respect to different pod and seed morphological characters of Acacia catechu (Willd.) collected from different sources in Garhwal Himalayas were studied. Significant inter-genotypic differences were recorded for all the pod and seed characteristics. viz., total no. of seeds/pod, healthy and damaged seeds/pod, seed length, width, thickness and seed weight. Except for damaged seeds/pod and seed width, the heritability (h2) values were higher than 75 per cent while low genetic advance was observed in all characters. A number of traits were found to have interrelationship at varying levels of significance.
