| Abstract: | A collection of 51 accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris L. from N.W. of the Iberian Peninsula was evaluated for phenological, morphological, and agronomic characters for two years to study patterns of variation. Data were subjected to cluster analysis by variables choice, and six groups could be identified. These in turn corresponded to each previously described races ‘Nueva Granada’ and ‘Chile’ of South American origin, and races ‘Durango’ and ‘Mesoamerica’ of Middle American domestication center. Accessions falling in race ‘Nueva Granada’ had two distinct gene pools. |
