Based in the evaluation of quantitative variables it was carried out the identification of the genetic variability of a shrub bean Colombian collection. The investigation was carried out with 30 accessions of which three are improved varieties and one is an elite line, the evaluations were carried out in seven environments, six of them in cold climate and one in template climate. The results were analyzed by univariated and multivariated methods by principal components analysis for the group of variables and cluster analysis among agreements. In the principal components analysis the first six components represented 87.31% of the total variation, which discriminated the cultivars of the colIection for Andean and Meso-American gene pool. The morphological and agronomical differences were bigger among the Andean accessions, because of its dispersion degree in the first three components, which is higher than in the Meso-American ones. The diversity among the gene pools is represented mainly by the growth habit, precocity, foliate area, yield per plant and the number of seeds by podoThe variables of high heredability represented by high repetibility coefficient r> 1 (Goodman and Paterniani, 1969) were: number of knots, pod length, pod apex length, the number of pods per plant, time to physiological maturity and the weight of 100 seeds which can be used for studies of morphological similarity and evolution.
