Abstract Natural outcrossing in rice bean ( Vigna umbellata [Thumb.] Ohwi and Ohashi) was studied in the progenies of recessive plants in F generation of six crosses involving three loci — Ti (seed coat base colour), (seed coat mosaic) and Rr (seedling colour), The estimate of outcrossing (α) varied from 0.27 10 0.81 and the percentage of line showing outcrossing varied from 86.S to 100 and the outcrossing was non random.
