Abstract: Morphological (colour of leaf margin, colour of petiole, colour of main vein, colour of leaf sheath) and agronomic (number of cormels per plant, weight of cormels and weight of corms) data from a collection of genetic material representing 63 accessions of cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium cvs white and red) found in Cameroon were analyzed. A significant variability of these parameters was observed. The multiple component analysis of the parameters showed that they represent 70.72% of the total variability. This analysis enabled the establishment of a correlation between the direct hierarchical classification and the geographical distribution of the accessions of the white cv. Such a relationship was not observed in the accessions of the red cv. With regards to the agronomic characteristics of the 63 accessions, an evaluation of these parameters revealed a positive correlation (p<0.01) between the weight of the corm and the number of cormels (rP = 0.433) on the one hand and the weight of the corm and the weight of the cormels (rP = 0.613) on the other hand. Another positive correlation was observed between the number of cormels and the weight of the cormels (rP = 0.824).
