The morphological characterization of four spiderplant types from western Kenya was carried out in a plastic greenhouse at Chepkoilel Campus of Moi University, Eldoret, Kenya. Seeds were collected from small-scale farmers in Kakamega District and from wildly growing plants within Chepkoilel Campus in Uasin Gishu District, both in western Kenya. Morphotypes were different for 3 variables out of the 7 scored for, the variables including plant structure, stem pubescence leaflet shape and leaflet apices. In the case of variable counts, morphotypes differed for 3 out of the 5 counted and the variables included days to 50% flowering, stem pubescence and number of leaflets per compound leaf. For variable measurements, morphotypes showed differences for 3 out of the 5 measured, and the variables were plant height, petiole length and fruit breadth. The morphotypes were also clustered into 3 groups by the dendrogram. In characterizing the four morphotypes, it was noted that overlaps in morphological statistics occur as expected. Despite these overlaps, significant differences were observed in analysis of variance, indicating that apart from stem and petiole colours, also other characters of importance differ.
