Objective:To reveal the variation and regularity of fruits and seeds of Chimonanthus nitens from different provenances and to provide references for the conservation and genetic improvement of Chimonanthus nitens germplasm resources.Methods:Fruits and seeds of Chimonanthus nitens from ten provenances including Jiangxi and Zhejiang were used as test materials,analysis methods of vari-ance,correlation and cluster analysis were applied to contrast and analyze seven phenotypictraits(fruit length,fruit width,seed length,seed width,thousand-grains weight of seed,fruit length-width ratio,seed length-width ratio)of fruits and seeds.Results:The results showed that seven phenotypic traits were from 1.95% to 20.76%,among them,variation coefficient of the width of fruit was the largest(20.76% ),variation coefficient thousand-grain weight of seed was the smallest(1.95% ).Phenotypic variations in seed and fruit traits of Chimonanthus nitens were not significantly affected by geographi-cal and climatic factors;The ten provenances could be divided into four groups,the first group was Guangxin Jiangxi,Longquan Zhejiang,Guangfeng Jiangxi and Kaihua Zhejiang,the second group was Wuyuan Jiangxi and Dexing Jiangxi,the third group was Yiyang Jiangxi and Zixi Jiangxi,and the fourth group was Yushan Jiangxi and Leping Jiangxi.Conclusion:There are abundant phenotypic varia-tions in Chimonanthus nitens fruits and seeds from different provenances,this study can provide a theo-retical basis for the protection and utilization of diversified Chimonanthus nitens germplasm resources.
