"Thirty-seven local and introduced genotypes of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) were characterized \r\nfor 20 quantitative and 28 qualitative morphological characters under screen-house conditions. There were highly significant \r\ndifferences among genotypes for most quantitative characters (P<0.001) except primary branch numbers (P>0.05). Exotic \r\ngenotypes were superior in most traits compared to local genotypes. Local genotypes were characterized by small fruits, late \r\nmaturity, taller plants with wider canopies compared to introduced genotypes. Local genotypes #31 and #26 were outstanding \r\nwith respect to numbers of fruits per plant (mean 62) and earliness (60 days), respectively. The first and second principal \r\ncomponents (PCs) for quantitative traits accounted for 41.6% and 13.8% of the total variability, respectively. Fruit length, fruit \r\nweight and fruit wall thickness largely contributed to PC1. Days to flowering, fruiting, fruit maturity; stem diameter and height; \r\nplant height and width largely contributed to PC2. Moderate diversity based on qualitative traits (Mean diversity index H` = 0.53) \r\nwas detected among genotypes. Higher diversity indices were observed for stem pubescence type (1.16), leaf pubescence type \r\nand density (1.02), anther colour (0.94), calyx margin and fruit surface (1.06), and immature fruit colour intensity (1.03). Cluster \r\nanalyses using 20 quantitative and 28 qualitative traits showed diversity among the genotypes at phenotypic level but with some\r\nlevel of genotypic relatedness and closeness. Based on Euclidean distance in cluster analysis dendrograms, exotic genotypes \r\ngrouped more with local genotypes in qualitative compared with quantitative traits. The diversity among the germplasm in both \r\nqualitative and quantitative traits revealed by this study can be used for trait improvement through selection and gene \r\nintrogression. "^^ .
