  An experiment was conducted to evaluate the genetic variability in Gladiolus at Horticultural Research Centre (HRC) of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of agriculture and technology, Meerut, during Rabi season of 2014-2015. A total of 53 varieties were evaluated for 27 characters in genetic diversity on the basis of Mahalanobis D2 results of Cluster and D2 analysis indicated that the distribution patterns of Gladiolus genotypes into 8 clusters. Cluster IV contained a maximum number of genotypes (13). The grouping pattern of the genotypes suggested no parallelisms between genetic divergence and geographical distribution of genotypes. The intra-cluster was maximum in cluster VII (D2=372.852) reveals maximum genetic diversity followed by cluster II (D2=343.392) and cluster V (D2=150.904) and maximum inter-cluster generalized distance (D2=1855.023) was between cluster VII and..
