Cytological and morphological details of an autotriploid ofCoffea canephoraare reported. Cytological studies showed a marked difference to earlier reports on triploids of interspecific origin thereby indicating the present triploid as intraspecific in origin. Morphologically it differed from the normal diploid in characters such as reduced internodal length, stomatal number per unit area and partial increase in palisade parenchyma. Possibility of obtaining a progeny is discussed.
