Interspecific Hybridization Between Hibiscus acetosella and H. radiatus : Studies on Interspecific and Intergeneric Hybridization in the Malvaceae XVI

Abstract

Vigorous, comparatively high fertile F₁ hybrids were easily obtained from H.radiatus x H.acetosella and they showed almost complcte chlomosome panlng and gave rlse to the vrgorous fertlle F₂. Almost all characteristics of the hybrids were either intermediate between or similar to one of the parents. Apparently the parental species have similar genome constitutions and are closely related.
