In lentil, the timings of flowering have important role in development of suitable plant types including early maturing cultivars that may adapt better under changing environmental conditions. Therefore continuous efforts are being made by lentil breeders for identification of diverse source germplasm lines for broadening the genetic base. In present study, a genotype ILWLS 118 was identified for early flowering from a wild accession, ILWL 118 is L. orientalis genotype. The morphological and molecular characterization has also revealed its distinctness from parental populations and hence it is useful donor for lentil breeding program
