The results revealed that, great variations of traits existed in these 51 Hippeastrum vittatum varieties; flowers and leaves of 32 varieties grew synchronously, nevertheless, flowers and leaves of the remained 19 ones grew with no synchronization. These results can be used as important criterion to production in winter and new variety breeding of Hippeastrum vittatum in South China.
