Description
Summary:Variation géographique de Commelina benghalensis L au Bénin. Commelina benghalensis L. is one of the major weeds of Benin, it is more abundant in the north than in the south. There is also variation of this weed for morphological characters which is related to the ecological contrast between the north and the south. In this study, we compared with eleven morphological characters the north and the south plants cultivated in a green house. Six out of those eleven characters differentiate the north plants from the south plants when we use the statistical means of comparison. Principal components analysis confirms this differentiation.
