The study was conducted on evaluation of eighteen genotypes of glory lily (Gloriosa superba L.) under tropical humid condition of Tamil Nadu. The genotype GS 15 exhibited superior performance for most of the characters, followed by GS 06. However, genotype GS 05 took maximum days to flowering, whereas maximum duration of fifty per cent flowering was recorded with GS 18. The genotype GS 7 exhibited the lowest PDI value and this genotype considered as tolerant to leaf blight. Genotype GS 17 exerted poorest performance on various growth, flowering and yield attributes.
