Genetic divergence using Mahalanobis D2 analysis among 15 genotypes of shisham with twenty component characters at 5 years of age led to their grouping into six clusters. Three genotypes fall in cluster I, four in cluster II, three each in cluster III and IV, and only one in cluster V and VI. Maximum and minimum distances were observed between cluster IV and V and clusters III and V, respectively.
