Abstract: RAPD analysis of 12 samples of wild lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) from 6 provinces showed that wild lotus have rich biodiversity and significant difference in markers, especially those from Hubei province. All materials could be divided into 3 groups, which is similar to classification by horticultural characteristics. This analysis indicated that the current 3 types of lotus cultivars might be derived from different wild lotus.

Key words: Wild lotus ( Nelumbo nucifera), RAPD, Cluster analysis
