| Abstract: | Summary Interspecific crosses were attempted between eleven species ofLinum, and those betweenL. usitatissimum, L. pallescens andL. africanum were successful. In these crosses the F1 hybrid plants greatly exceeded the parental species in plant height, giving thereby greater length of fibre which could be of economic importance. The seed formation in the F1 plants was considerably reduced. The blue flower colour was dominant over the white colour. Polyembryony was observed in the cross betweenL. usitatissimum andL. pallescens. |
