Abstract;Lycoris albiflora, L. aurea, L. radiata and L. sanguinea were cross-bred to yield 8 interspecific combinations. When the scapes were cut at their base after crossing and kept in water, a few interspecific hybrids from 7 combinations were obtained. The percentages of fruit set and the number of seeds per capsule were increased by applying 2% Naphthaleneacetic Acid(NAA) on the stigma after pollination in three interspecific hybrids of Lycoris. Thus, the hormone treatment improved the efficiency of obtaining interspecific hybrids with Lycoris. (author abst.)
