Abstract: Heliconia species originate in the neotropical region. The cold resistance and agronomic traits such as flowering stage,ornamental value,etc of 67 varieties of Heliconia species which were introduced to Hainan Island were successively identified for 3 years for comprehensive evaluation in the field nursery. Of the 67 varieties eight varieties were found suitable for cultivation in different locations of Hainan Province,including H. nickeriensis,H. caribaea×H. bihai ‘Jacquinii ’,H. bihai ‘Lobster Claw Two’,H. orthotricha ‘Imperial’,H chartacea ‘Sexy Pink’,H. psittacorum‘Vincent Red’,H. densiflora ‘Fire Flash’,H. stricta ‘Iris Bannochie’. The evaluations of the 67 varieties of Heliconia spp are valuable for genetic improvement,cultivation and exploitation of Heliconia germplasm
