%X Presented in this paper is a procedure in which meristem tips (0.02 mm) of seventeen recently introduced potato varieties from the International Potato Center (IPC) and a local variety (Sequoia) from PNG were micropropagated and evaluated in vitro based on general Plant Growth Parameters (PGP; shoots, roots, leaves, nodes and height). Using this procedure, the study was able to place the tested varieties into three potentially diverse genetic groups. LSD mean separations also showed highly significant differences (p
