Summary Rauvolfia serpentina (L.) Benth. ex Kurtz genetic resources from several regions of India were evaluated at New Delhi in the period 1970–76 to understand the variation pattern for root yield and associated polygenic traits. The Uttar Pradesh populations represented the wides range of diversity for most of the traits; the populations from Assam possessed high root yield potential. In other states, too, variation was evident. On the basis of variation pattern, areas in the Indian subcontinent were identified for collection and conservation of Rauvolfia germplasm.
