Suitable technique of root tip preparation for somatic chromosome investigation of amaryllis via squash method was described. Root tip samples were best taken during 09.30-10.00 a.m. The tissue was then pretreated in PDB for 48 hours at 10 deg C prior to 5 minutes of fixation in fixative solution. Maceration was done in 1 N HCl solution for 5 minutes. Tissue staining in carbol fuchsin for 24 hours was carried out before squashing. Chromosome investigations of the red small-flowered local variety (R), Apple Blossom (P), Orange Sovereign (O) and their hybrids revealed the chromosome numbers being 2n=22 in R, 2n=44 in P and O, 2n=33 in RxP, 2n=34 in RxO and 2n= 36 in OxR.
