Statistical methods of cluster analysis and the principal component analysis were used to study 16 morphological traits from 292 individuals within 13 populations of Cerasus campanulata Maxim.in Fujian,Jiangxi,Guangdon and Taiwan provinces of China.The results showed that 292 individual could be divided into two groups,but the overall morphological differentiation of wild individuals of Cerasus campanulata was somewhat unordered.The individuals of different populations may fall into one cluster,while individuals within the same population mostly fall into the same cluster.It is inferred that there are certain amounts of morphological differentiation among populations,but the differentiation is not significant enough to distinguish the population clearly.Principal component analysis results indicated that sever of the traits measured,leaf shape,leaf tip shape,leaf edge shape,branching capability,seedling height after 60 days,flower color and flower shape,were the main sources of morphological variation.
