| Morphological and cytogenetic characterization of four canna (Canna x generalis L. H. Bailey & E. Z. Bailey) cultivars and two putative F1 hybrids |
|---|
Four Canna cultivars (C. ‘Moonbeam’, C. ‘Madeira,’ C. ‘Wintzer’s Colossal’, C. ‘Alphonse Bouvier’) and two
putative F1 hybrids of C. ‘Wintzer’s Colossal’ and C. ‘Alphonse Bouvier’ (coded as H3R1 and H3R2,
respectively) were evaluated for their morphological and cytogenetic characteristics. Among the
morphological parameters reckoned were plant height, culm/stem diameter, flower diameter, flower color,
inflorescence length, staminode length and thickness, leaf length, leaf width and leaf thickness.
