Zusammenfassung:	The use of an iconic representation of many traits for the description and classification of forest tree clones is suggested. Among the kinds of icons available, the cartoon-like representation known as Chernoff's faces was chosen. This graphic technique has proved to be effective for discriminating among 50 clones of common cypress selected for resistance to canker. As descriptors, besides morphological characteristics, the content of five monoterpenes and the polymorphism of six isozymatic loci were considered.
