Popis:	The phenotypic variability of 31 seed and fruit characters was examined in 54 cultivars of Ceratonia siliqua L. collected in the South of Italy. For most of the 23 continuous characters which were examined, differences among regions of provenance were significant. Frequency distributions of 8 discrete characters are also reported. Relationships among 23 continuous descriptors were analyzed by principal component analysis in order to summarize data and reduce the number of characters. By cluster analysis based upon them the material was classed in different groups; the importance of the characters and levels of similarity among groups in relation to the provenance are discussed.
