Popis: Wild species are potential sources of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Variation in agronomically important traits has been reported in the wild Cajanus species however, the Australian wild species have not been characterized to date. A subset of four Australian wild Cajanus acutifolius (F.Muell.) Maesen accessions and 57 interspecific hybrids of C. acutifolius, Cajanus lanuginosus (S.T.Reynolds & Pedley) Maesen, Cajanus lanceolatus (W.Fitzg.) Maesen, and two C. cajan genotypes were investigated to assess the phenotypic diversity for 17 qualitative and six quantitative traits. Significant variation in stem thickness, days to 50% flowering (dff) (f.pr
