Genotypes of rice collected from various parts of foot hills of Himalayan region (31.1048 N; 77.1734 E) mainly Himachal Pradesh were assessed for morphological markers such as leaf linked characters. A significant amount of genetic variation was displayed for most of the traits examined. All genotypes has green coleoptile colour except Kaludhan which was purple in nature. Among the 8 genotypes which having anthocyanin colouration for leaf, 4 genotypes have anthocyanin on tip only, marginal distribution for 3 genotype and uniform spread for Kaludhan. The short leaf blade was found in VL-221(26.06 cm) and the longest in HPR-2699 (56.86 cm). In the genotypes collected, HPR-2143 (17.80mm) has the highest leaf width, which was significant superior over all other genotypes. Whereas RP-2421 (9.90 mm) genotype was found to be the lowest followed by HPR-2746 (11 mm). These characters can be used for identification of off types at the time of field inspection. Genetic diversity among some of these cultivars indicating that the cultivars can effectively contribute to the gene pool of rice cultivars.
