Description:	One of the main crops and income and alternative food source for the population from Northeast region of Brazil is the lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), besides an important source of protein for the rural population from South America and Africa. It is consumed either as fresh or dried beans. The characterization of Phaseolus lunatus germplasm has a significant impact on the impovment of crop plants and could help to improve the knowledge about genetic variability and differentiation patterns. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate genetic diversity among 24 lima bean samples using quantitative and qualitative descriptors by multivariate procedures.
