Source variation study of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. was undertaken to identify the superior seed sources for production of quality seedling. Thirteen seed sources sampled from different locations in Himachal Pradesh State. Variation for most of the studied characters indicated non-clinal pattern. On average, the population of Deothal (Rajgarh Forest Division), Majheen (Dehra Forest Division) and Naina Tikker (Rajgarh Forest Division) were found to be the best on the basis of weight, germination per cent and vigour index of seed as an important criterion for delineation the superior seed source. This preliminary investigation will be useful for further improvement of the species for better productivity.
