Abstract: 
Nineteen quantitative characters were observed on 14 accessions of West African Okra.  Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Complete Linkage Cluster Analysis (CLCA) were employed to analyses the variation pattern in these accessions.  The first three principal components accounted for 68.47% of the total variation.  Using character variation, complete linkage cluster analysis summarized the position of accessions into a dendrogram at interval of 5% level of similarity, while the accessions were sorted into five distinct groups.
