In order to analyze the morphological variability in natural populations, fourteen accesses of Manihot pseudoglaziovii were studied, collected in the Curimataú Paraibano micro-region, in Paraiba State, besides an esculent M. Cranz access (cassava) and a natural hybrid between these two species. Five plants of each access were multiplied through cutting and then cultivated in an experimental area of the PPGZ/CCA/UFPB under standardized conditions, aiming a homogeneous externalization of each genotype. For the morphometric analyses, 20 morphology characters were studied from which analyses of variance and t-test were done, for each character separately. Pearson correlation analyses between pairs of characters were also carried out, once the occurrence of significant correlation justifies the use of multivariate analyses. The cassava access differed regarding the accesses of maniçoba and manipeba, according to the first canonic axis of the multivariate variance analysis. On the other hand, the presumed hybrid between the cassava and maniçoba differed from the others regarding the second canonic axis. The 14 maniçoba accesses presented variation, but they did not differ among themselves, although accesses 1, 2, 8 and 13 revealed themselves distant regarding the other accesses of this species.
