Abstract: A numerical taxonomy of 20 samples of Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. in Yunnan was studied by choosing 26 characters and using the UPGMA. The result of Cluster Analysis showed that 20 samples of Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. in Yunnan could be divided into 5 varieties: var. crispa Deane ex Bailey, var. arguta (Benth.) Hand.-Mazz., var. auriculato-dentata C.Y. Wu et Hsuan, var. purpurascens (Hayata) H.W. Li and var. frutescens L.. The establishment of var. frutescens L. and distribution of var. auriculato-dentata were discussed.

Key words: Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt., variations under species, numerical taxonomy
