A total of 110 rice varieties of which 108 local (From Bangladesh Rice Research Institute) and two hybrid varieties
(From ACI Ltd. Bangladesh) were used to identify the morphological traits during July, 2008 to June, 2009. These
varieties represented four types viz. T. Aman (n=92), B. Aman (n=15), Boro (n=2) and Jhum accession (n=1) as
described by Bangladesh Rice Research Institute’s literature. Though all these materials were varied ecotypically but
grown in one (T. Aman) season. Irrespective of groups of all, 90 varieties were appeared distinctly morphologically
from others due to seed colour; stigma colour; anthocyanin colouration of leaf sheath, nodes and lemma:palea,
presence of awn and nodal root. Among 90 distinct varieties 19 were distinctly different from others by four traits, nine
by three traits, 24 by two traits and 38 varieties by only single trait. The rest 20 varieties were distinguished flag leaf:
attitude of the leaf blade. This was done to assess the quality traits of distinctness as major concern and was noninfluenced
by the environment.
