Thirty five genotypes of dolichos bean germplasm lines were evaluated for different qualitative traits at Vegetable Research Station, Agriculture Research Institute, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during August, 2016 to March, 2017. Quality traits revealed that there is a considerable variability in dolichos bean germplasm for most of the traits like stem colour (green, dark green and purple), leaf vein colour (light green and green, purple), leaf density (sparse and intermediate), flower colour (purple, white and dark purple), growth habit (pole and bush), pod shape (straight, curved and intermediate), pod colour dark purple in IC-446584, pod beak (long, short and medium), pod suture (green, dark green and purple), pod curvature (straight and curved), pod surface (smooth and wrinkled), seed colour (black, brown and cream) and seed shape (flat, round and oblong). Whereas there was no variability observed in traits like leaf vein colour, pod suture and pod beak colour. These characters can be utilized as morphological markers in selections and breeding programmes.
