An effort was made to assess the variability using parameters like PCV, GCV, heritability, genetic advance in Gloriosa superba Linn. Observations were recorded on nineteen characters showing considerable variability. PCV was higher than the respective GCV for all the traits. The high magnitude of PCV and GCV was observed for plant height, collar diameter, number of flowers per plant, number of fruits per plant, number of seeds per plant, dry weight of fruit, number of tubers per plant, tuber length, tuber fresh weight, tuber dry weight and Colchicine content. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for most of the characters except leaf area, intermodal length, fruit length and fresh weight of fruit. It indicated that additive gene action was more important for these characters.
