  abstract = {{R}oselle ({H}ibiscus sabdariffa {L}.) is an economically important plant in {N}iger. {L}ittle is known about its genetic diversity and population structure. {I}n this study, we performed the first diversity assessment of a collection of 124 roselle accessions and 16 accessions of its close relatives {H}ibiscus cannabinus and {A}belmoschus esculentus. {O}ur study was based on ten agromorphological traits and 267 amplified fragment length polymorphism markers. {W}e identified two major distinct groups in {H}. sabdariffa using a {B}ayesian method. {T}hese two genetic groups were associated with statistical differences for three phenological characteristics: number of days to flowering, 100-seed weight and calyx size. {H}owever, the calyx colour, i.e. a morphological characteristic often used to classify different local ecotypes, did not superimpose this separation. {O}ur findings suggested that roselle diversity is genetically structured; the two different groups were clearly associated with morphological differences but were not commonly used by farmers for their classification. {T}he impact of the perceived ecotype structure and its consequence on farmer management is discussed.},
