The 39 cultivars of Iranian figs cultivated in Agricultural Jahad research center of Varamin. collections have been morphologically evaluated. 31 quantitative and qualitative characters were assessed in this procedure. According to results of analysis variance all the characters in examined cultivars were significant, showing high variability in some characters. Results of simple correlation analysis showed the existence of significant positive and negative correlation among some important characters. Also, factors analysis showed that most of growth habitat like shoot length, number of internodes and length of 1/3 and 2/3 internodes of apical and medium characters constitute the main factors. Effective characteristics categorized in eleven factor accounted 77.6 of total variance. For each factor eigen value more than 0.5 was considered significant. Cluster analysis was performed using these 11 factors and cultivars in the distance of 13 were divided into 5 main clusters. These groups were mainly distinct in growth habitat and leaf size. Key words: Fig, Ficus carica L., Morphological, Cultivars, Genetic Diversity
