Plants of 43 Australian wheat cultivars of historical and contemporary importance and 7 Mexican introductions were grown in a glasshouse and measured for 27 morphological and physiological attributes. Phenotypic relationships among the cultivars across all attributes were examined by hierarchical classification and ordination procedures. Seven major groups of cultivars delimited in the classification were broadly related to extremes of plant type (3 tall, late-flowering Australian wheats and 2 early-flowering Mexican wheats of high harvest index were contrasting extremes), region of breeding origins (southern/western versus northern Australian cereal
