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

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.
