This work aimed at estimating the genetic divergence between luffa accessions (Luffa cylindrica (L.) M. J. Roem) by means of multivariate analysis techniques and at verifying the importance of the assessed traits for the study of genetic divergence. Two trials were carried out in the municipality of Mossoró, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The trials were carried out in incomplete block design, comprising two experiments in completely randomised blocks with four regular treatments and two treatments common to both experiments, amounting to a number of ten
