This report supplies information about the longevity of litchi pollen under different storage conditions. The best results were obtained where the pollen was dried and stored at 4 °C. A misinterpretation about the relation between aril development and the obturator, as was published in a previous report by the authors, is brought up to date. Preliminary results of fruit-set, after self- and reciprocal cross-pollinations between the cultivars Mauritius and Madras are also supplied.
