Abstract	The study was conducted during the growing seasons of 2017 2018 on twelve date palm male cultivars in Samawah city, Muthanna Governorate, Iraq with the aim of identifying vegetative and floral characteristics, as well as the vitality of the pollen grains and their germination percentage for twelve males (Khadairy, Shalhoum, Ardawi, Bandar, Ereojan, Habiti, Fahl Zuhdi, Abu Kafisha, Atishi, Sweihi, Abu Tair, Nabhar). The study included 21 vegetative appearance characteristics and 19 floral appearance characteristics. The results showed differences among the male cultivars in the vegetative characteristics of the plant, in which, Bender cultivar recorded the highest length of leaf which was 500 cm. According to the analysis of the main components, the vegetative characteristics were divided into three main components. The male cv. Sweihi gave the highest percentage of pollen vitality which was 91.71% while Ereojan recorded the lowest percentage which was 85.94%. Bandar recorded the highest percentage of pollen germination which reached to 82.34%. In floral phenotypes, statistical obtained results indicated that floral characteristics divided into three main components. Habiti cv. gave the highest length of spadix which was 135 cm, while Sweihi cv. recorded the lowest value, which recorded 75 cm, The results of the study of the vegetative characteristics showed the degree of similarity among the male cultivars using cluster analysis. The male cultivar Khadairy was isolated from the other male cultivars and recorded the largest distance of the difference. The results of the cluster analysis clearly indicated that the male cultivars were grouped in two groups, the first included four male cultivars (Shalhoum, Ereojan, Fahl Zuhdi, and Atishi), and the highest similarities within this group were between Shalhoum and Ereojan.
