Abstract: Through the quantity characters comparison,correlation coefficient analysis and cluster analysis based on agronomic characters observation both in field and in laboratory on D₈ generation of peanut variations,we draw the conclusions as follows.First,the main stem height,the lateral branches length and the total No.of branches have no significantly difference comparing the 10 plant lines came from D₄ generation,but the length of leaves,the length of pods and the favors of the pods husk have significantly difference.Second,the productive of per plant have different correlative with different characters,which has positive correlations with the length of pods,but has negative correlations with the main stem height.Third,the 10 plant lines can be classified to 3 types,but the result didn't consistent with the family trees.
