Abstract: 31 Hippeastrum rutilum cultivars were used for observation and statistical analysis of their ornamental characters, and their cross compatibility was also studied. The results showed that different varieties of Hippeastrum rutilum had obvious differences in ornamental characters. The pure color varieties had red, orange, pink, white, etc., and the complex color varieties had stripes, spots and red edges on the basis of the main color system. The flower diameter of different varieties ranged from 5.2 to 23.1 cm, and the scape height ranged from 10.2 to 50.6 cm. Filament and style color is basically the same as the main color of petals, and anther color are yellow, purple, pink, white and so on. After pollination,Neno,Terra Mystica and Sweet Lillian do not bear fruit, while Picotee,Royal Velvet and Charisma all have good cross-compatibility.

Key words: Hippeastrum rutilum, ornamental characters, cross-compatibility
