Abstract: Germplam characterization was centered primarily on two major species, Basella alba L. and Basella rubra L. of the twenty four under study, Chadra, Bombay White, Soda Mota Pui, IGPB-2017-01, IGPB-2017-02, IGPB-2017-03, IGPB-2017-04, IGPB-2017-05, IGPB-2017-06, IGPB-2017-07, IGPB-2017-08, IGPB-2017-09, white green leaf margin colour were recognized as Basella alba L., while IGPB-2017-10, IGPB-2017-11, IGPB-2017-12, IGPB-2017-13, IGPB-2017-14, IGPB-2017-15, IGPB-2017-16, IGPB-2017-17, IGPB-2017-18, IGPB-2017-19, IGPB-2017-20, IGPB-2017-21 with red leaf margin colour was recognized as Basella rubra L. Germaplam characterization was centered secondarily on quantitative traits. Twenty four landraces of Indian spinach characterized in this study showed a broad variation for most of the qualitative traits under study. The variation in leaf colour, leaf shape, stem colour, stem shape, leaf margin colour, leaf margin and flower colour, were easily recognizable with visual appraisal in the material.
