  ABSTRACT: The lack of suitable varieties is a constraint to okra production in West Africa. This study aimed to assess the magnitude of morphological diversity of 260 accessions of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) in Mali. A total of 25 qualitative and quantitative traits, including plant height, number of branches, pod length, and pod yield, were measured under field conditions. Significant variation was observed for all agronomic traits (p 2
