Talinum triangulare is a relatively common vegetable that is an essential item in Nigerian cuisine, particularly in the southern region of the country. Because of its excellent revegetative capacity, Talinum triangulare is quite common and easily accessible. This study is significant because it compares the morphology of Talinum triangulare plants from different agro-ecological zones using Edo State as a case study to see if the morphological differences are environmentally or genetically influenced in terms of the environment in which they are found. Plants in various agro-ecological zones are exposed to the distinct environmental conditions that regulate the zones. The physical traits of the parents collected from different places in Edo state and their progenies developed from their seeds were compared in the research study. The parent plant was compared to the first generation progenies, and observations were obtained at 8 and 12 weeks. This was likewise done for the second generation, which was raised from the seeds of the first generation's plants. Finally, all of the generations that included both the parent, P1 and P2, were compared. The most notable finding from this study is that there were no significant differences in the number of leaves per plant for all ten accessions collected; the range was 17-21 leaves per plant. Tukey's multiple comparison test revealed that plant height in the parents differed from that in the P1 (P0.05); plant height in the parents also differed from that in the P1.Plant height in the parents differed considerably from P2 and P1 differed significantly from P2 (P0.05). Finally, based on the findings of the investigation, this could be due to adaptation by distinct accessions, providing the possibility of genetic influence.
