This work aimed to perform the morphologic characterization of eleven previously selected Cajanus cajan lines. The main descriptors were: plant height (cm), number of branches, stem diameter (mm), basic flower color, basic pod color, seed color, seed hilum color, hilum thickness, and seed shape. The descriptors used were sufficient to characterize the lines with distinct characteristics. Using these descriptors the lines may be easily identified.

The purpose of this work was to morphologically characterize and describe the vegetative cycle of eleven previously selected pigeon-pea lines submitted to self pollination, selection and multiplication, to obtain pure lines. All descriptions were accomplished through the use of internationally accepted descriptors for the species and it was concluded that all eleven lines can be easily distinguished by means of their morphological traits.
