Abstract

Juvenile leaves of twenty-five clones of Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. tereticornis and their hybrids were analysed for morphologically distinct, uniform and stable quantitative descriptors using an Image analyser and discriminated for the purpose of Individual clonal identity using multivariate analysis such as Canonical Discriminant analysis, Principal Component analysis and Cluster analysis.

Keywords
