Abstract
This study evaluated 52 characters from a set of 457 accessions (including newly bred varieties and collected wild forms) of the world collection of the Medicago sativa, Medicago x varia and Medicago falcata. Thirty plants of each origin were planted in the field. Ten of these were evaluated in the years 2005 and 2006. All the evaluated characters were included in the analyses. Missing values were replaced by mean values. Cluster analysis was performed using the software Statistica for Windows for all the accessions together. Complete linkage method was used for clustering and Euclidean distance as the measure of distance.
