Description:	Forage legumes have high protein content, good development in relatively poor soil, easy propagation and can incorporate nitrogen to the soil. All these aspects promote a great benefit to the livestock production, including cost reduction on fertilizer in pastures. Species of the genus Stylosanthes are a viable alternative when used together with Brachiaria species in the formation of pastures. Genetic diversity knowledge in a breeding scheme can help in parental selection for controlled crosses, which may result in heterosis and amplification of breeding population genetic diversity. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity and relative importance of morphological traits evaluated in different genotypes of S. capitata.
