Abstract
Five clones of a new interspecific hybrid Hippeastrum × chmielii Chm. obtained by crossing Hippeastrum hybridum with Hippeastrum pratense were compared. Content and distribution of chlorophylls, carotenoids and anthocyanins were determined in fresh perianth leaves using spectrophotometric method and calculated on dry mass basis. Separation and identification of anthocyanidins were done by TLC on cellulose plates against standards. Variations in intensity and shade of perianth leaves colour were due to differences in content and distribution as well as copigmentation in three studied classes of the pigments.
