In order to systematically evaluate the germplasm resources of Pueraria in Guangxi, a total of 283 germplasm resources of Pueraria were collected from 153 villages in 67 towns of 50 counties. The Pueraria germplasm resources were mainly distributed in the north, west and southeast of Guangxi. 44.52% of the collected germplasm accessions were found at the low altitude(100 to 200 meters). By deployment of botanical classification method, the germplasm resources of Pueraria in Guangxi are mainly composed of two species: P.lobata (Wild) Ohwi var. thomsoni (Benth.) van der Maesen and P.lobata (Wild.) Ohwi var. Montana (Lour.) van der Maesen, in which P.lobata (Wild) Ohwi var. thomsoni (Benth.) van der accounts for 62.20% of total accessions, and the morphological difference is more abundant than that of P.lobata (Wild.) Ohwi var. Montana (Lour.) van der Maesen. Excellent germplasm resources of Pueraria, which are suitable for edible, starch processing, medicinal use and flower tea development, have been identified and evaluated. Taken together, the geographical distribution, botanical classification, morphological diversity and utilization value of the collected germplasm resources of Pueraria in Guangxi were evaluated. Moreover, the protection, development and utilization of the germplasm resources were discussed, thus providing reference for the excavation and utilization of the germplasm resources of Pueraria in Guangxi.
