Abstract
Studies with 51 clones showed variation in growth habit, tillering, pigmentation, waxiness and hairiness of plant parts, size of stem, leaves and panicles and leaf:stem ratio. Field trials with 21 clones showed significant differences in plant height, tiller number and yield of green matter per clump. Comparison of selfed and open-pollinated progenies showed wide variability in the selfed progenies. A variant with 2n = 36 was inferior in forage production to the normal 2n = 32 clones. Cytological examination showed that the diploids behave as segmental tetraploids, suggesting a basic chromosome number of x = 8
