  Author(s): Desta Fikadu Egata*
  
  Lippia adoensis Hochst is an herbaceous plant of the genus Lippia belongs to the family Verbenaceae, which is an erect woody shrub that grows up to 1 m-3 m tall. It is an indigenous plant, endemic medicinal plant, and cultivated commonly in home gardens in different regions of Ethiopia with an altitudinal range of 1600 m-3000 m. The experiment was aimed to determine the morphological and bio-chemical performance and variability of Ethiopian Lippia adoensis. The experiment was conducted at Wondo Genet in 2020 using twenty-four selected genotypes. Seedlings were raised in a nursery using top cutting and transplanted to the experimental site after three months of age. Transplanted seedlings were managed properly as required and data were collected from; morphological, biochemical and economical traits at blooming stage. Essential oil was extracted ..
