Abstract

Interspecific hybrids from 12 cross combinations were obtained, when Nerine alta, N. bowdenii 'Pink Triumph', N. crispa, N. filamentosa, N. humilis, N. pudica and N. sarniensis were crossed with each other in 24 combinations. Intergeneric hybrids from 6 cross combinations resulted, when N. filamentosa, N. humilis or N. sarniensis were hybridized with × Amacrinum, Amaryllis belladonna, × Amaryne, × Hippeaskeria, Lycoris aurea, Sprekelia formosissima or Vallota speciosa in 19 combinations.
