Interspecific hybridization is widely used in lentil Lens culinaris breeding at the Federal Scientific Center of Legumes and Groat Crops as well as the classic breeding methods. Vostochnaya variety, released in 2017, was created by introgressive hybridization with the wild species L. orientalis. New variety Flamenco, created with use of the species L. tomentosus, has been included into the State variety testing in 2019. Flamenco has been developed as a result of multiple individual selections from the hybrid population F3-F6 (Vechovskaya1 × L. tomentosus ILWL120) with using of the ovule rescue technique in vitro. Taxonomic variety is iberica. A distinctive character of variety is the brown color of seed coat with yellow cotyledons and white flowers. The Flamenco variety demonstrated the maximum yield of 2.68 t/ha in the competitive variety trial in 2019. The average yield was 2.22 t/ha in 2017-2019, the increase to the standard Aida was 0.2 t/ha. The average seed protein content was 26.5% at the level of standard. The growth duration was 78 days, which is 5 days shorter than the standard. The seeds of the Flamenco variety are less than those of the Aida, the 1000 seeds weight is 44-51 g. The culinary and technological qualities are excellent. The new variety develops more branches, pods and seeds per plant, which ensures higher seed productivity and yield. The Flamenco variety forms a dense cenosis resistant to lodging. Flamenco is the first lentil variety which has been developed with use of the germplasm of the wild species L. tomentosus.
