Abstract

Hibiscus has a unique and wide range of colors ranging from brown, purple, white, pink, red, orange, yellow, etc. Many cultivars introduced from various countries were adapted to Indian conditions, of which suitable elegant cultivars Hibiscus rosa- sinensis L. ‘Valentine's Day’ (female pod parent) and Hibiscus rosa- sinensis L. ‘Moorea Memory of July’ (male pollen parent) were selected and hybridized. Hybrid seeds from the female parent were collected, germinated, and grown to the flowering stage. The developed cultivar was named after a great Indian scientist Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose (H. rosa-sinensis cv. Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose). A detailed development of the new cultivar with photographs is discussed.
