| Variety VII | 20 | Not in library | Ampenkyene |
| Variety VIII | 21 | Released variety | Bankye broni |
| Variety IX | 13 | Landrace | Gbezeh |
| Variety X | 33 | Not in library | Kotee |

| 50 % ancestry from Variety I | 17 | Not in library | Many (12 different names) |
| 50 % ancestry from Variety II | 11 | Not in library | Many (7 different names) |
| 50 % ancestry from Variety III | 19 | Released variety | Tek bankye and Dokuduade (12 and 4 accessions, respectively) |
| 50 % ancestry from Variety IV | 10 | Most not in library | Many (12 different names) |
| 50 % ancestry from Variety V | 12 | Not in library | Many (10 different names) |
| 50 % ancestry from Variety VI | 33 | Not in library | Many (25 different names) |
| 50 % ancestry from Variety VIII | 21 | Not in library | Many (19 different names) |
| 50 % ancestry from Variety IX | 29 | Not in library | Many (17 different names) |
| 50 % ancestry from Variety XI | 5 | Not in library | Many (6 different names) |
| Multi-ancestry clones | 120 | Most not in library | Sikabankye (Only 2 accessions) |
*Admixture analysis-based ancestry estimates show there were 11 major varieties as well as hybrids derived from these varieties. We grouped these as (i) those that have at least 50 % ancestry from each of the major 11 groups and (ii) those that have multiple ancestries with none meeting the 50 % threshold
**For the admixed clones (i.e. hybrids), the numbers designate the totality of the accessions that have at least 50 % of their ancestries coming from a specific genotype
***Because of the multiplicity of names associated with each unique landrace, we only attempt to provide most common ones where applicable
