The Variabilities of the Provenance Seedling Character of Phellodendron chinense from Hunan Province

The variabilities of 22 characters of Phellodendron chinense among 11 provenances from Hunan Province are analyzed.The results show that the variabilites of 18 characters are obvious and the variation coefficients of the production characters are higher than those of the young seedling,the leaf and the growth characters.On some objective characters such as bark weight,seedling height and diameter,the provenance P04 is higher than any other.Moreover,canonical correlative analysis indicates that latitude,altitude and precipitation of original site are negatively correlative to some young seedling and growth characters,such as the height of cotyledons,young seedling height,seedling height,the length and width of leaf and so on,but longitude,temperature are positively,correlative to those characters.
