Their localities and habitats were reported in detail. Locality names are as follows; Ziguinchor, Simbandi, Tanaff, Kolda, Saresara, Tiapa, Anambe, Sefa, Bounkiling, Tangouri, Bignona, Kafoutine, Dioloulou, Goudomp, Biaobe, St. Louis, Richard Toll, lac du Guiners, Matam, Nianga, N'Dioum; Bassè, Faraba Banta, Kafuta, Brikama (GAMBIA). Strains of O.longistaminata and O.breviligulata were divided into two groups, i.e., Group A — strains collected in southern part of Senegal (Casamance), Group B — strains collected in northern part of Senegal (Matam). In case of O.longistaminata, lengths, widths, thicknesses, ratios of length to width, ratios of length to thickness, ratios of width to thickness, were found to 8.68mm, 9.16mm, 8.76mm; 2.40mm, 2.57mm, 2.43mm; 1.60mm, 1.69mm, 1.62mm; 3.64, 3.58, 3.63; 5.45, 5.42, 5.44; 1.51, 1.52, 1.51 in Group A, Group B and through the both groups, in the average values, respectively. It may be noticeable that the population of No.149, collected in upland field near Matam, showed large values in length, width, L/T and W/T. In case of O.breviligulata, these values were found to be 8.99mm, 8.87mm, 8.96mm; 2.91mm, 3.16mm, 2.98mm; 1.78mm, 1.95mm, 1.83mm; 3.12, 2.82, 3.04; 5.12, 4.57, 4.96; 1.65, 1.58, 1.64 in the same order in Group A, Group B and through the both groups, respectively. It may be noticeable that the populations of Nos. 122 and 150, collected in paddy field near Biaobe and in upland field near Matam, respectively, showed large values in length and L/W. Average values of O.brachyantha were found to be 9.01mm, 1.82mm, 1.40mm, 4.96, 6.50 and 1.31 in length, width, thickness, ratios of length to width, of length to thickness, and of width to thickness, in average values, respectively. In the analyses of the data obtained in the field survey, morphological and genetical characters, ecotypic and varietal differentiations may be discussed in the future.}, pages = {72--90}, title = {Distribution and Some Morphological Characters of Wild Rice in Senegal}, volume = {10}, year = {} }
