In the present study, Acalypha indica L. was collected from ten locations in Tirunelveli hills and the genetic variability was investigated using RAPD-PCR fingerprint and the population which showed high percentage of polymorphism was selected. The selected populations were further subjected to phytochemical analysis. The active principle in these plants was quantified by HPLC analysis. The population which exhibited both high percentage of polymorphism and high amount of active principle was considered as the superior genotype.
