Abstract
The article presents data on phylogenetic relationships of Australian and Indo-Chinese cotton species. A relatively close relationship of the wild species G.nelsonii with the subspecies G.arboreum is established. ssp. nanking when used as a maternal form during hybridization. It is noted that this wild species can be used as a valuable source material for breeding and genetic research in the creation of unique forms of cotton.
KEY WORDS: cotton, species, interspecific crossing, comparative morphology, hybridization
