Abstract
The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was made to know the level of genetic variation between the five populations of the medicinal shrub, Acalypha fruticosa (Euphorbiaceae) distributed in an environmental gradient. In the present study, of the nine random 
primers tested, one primer, GAATCTCAGG which gave polymorphism was used in RAPD analysis. The primer produced 47 scorable DNA fragments in the populations studied which showed the existence of genetic variation between the populations. A dendrogram was constructed based on Jaccard’s coefficient to determine the degree of genetic relationship among the five populations and analyzed. It showed that the genetic similarity among the populations is varying from 70 to 91 %.
