THE INHERITANCE OF A MALE STERILITY FACTOR IN KENAF, HIBISCUS CANNABINUS L. KENAF has been classified on several occasions as a self-pollinated crop.'' More recently it has been shown that considerable natural crossing due to insects occurs in Cuba, and it has been pointed out that under such conditions kenaf should be classified as an often crosspollinated crop.' 5 In Florida insect activity among flowering kenaf plants is high and it appears that conclusions reached in Cuba regarding natural crossing would apply to Florida, conditions.
