Obtainment and confirmation of intergeneric hybrids between marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens (L.) Sch.Bip.) and two Rhodanthemum species (R. hosmariense (Ball) B. H. Wilcox, K. Bremer & Humphries and R. catananche (Ball) B. H. Wilcox, K. Bremer & Humphries).

ABSTRACT: Argyranthemum frutescens (L.) Sch.Bip. and Rhodanthemum gayanum (Coss. & Durieu) B. H. Wilcox, K. Bremer & Humphries are capable of hybridization. To expand flower color variation in this intergeneric hybrid group, we performed crosses using A. frutescens as the seed parent and R. hosmariense (Ball) B. H. Wilcox, K. Bremer & Humphries, R. catananche (Ball) B. H. Wilcox, K. Bremer & Humphries as the pollen parent. One plantlet was obtained from each cross between the white to pale pink-flowered A. frutescens and white-flowered R. hosmariense, and from a cross between the pink-flowered A. frutescens and cream to pale yellow-flowered R. catananche, via ovule culture. The cross with R. h
