The present investigation on Bunium persicum (Boiss.) Fedtsch was carried out'with an objective to assess the genetic variability of thi~ species in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. A wide range of variation was observed among the five sites for various morphological and yield contributing attributes. Clustering pattern of five populations revealed that they could be classified into two clusters. Cluster I consisted of Gurez, Sangla and Khrew sites whereas, Cluster II included Kalpa and Harwan sites. Highest heritability was recorded for number of days from bulb sprouting to complete flowering followed by number of umblets per umbel which indicates that these characters can be improved upon selection.
