Interspecific crosses in the genus Arachis have been reported by several workers. The earliest cross appears to have been made between A. rasteiro and Holland Jumbo (Ann. Rep. 1947). A.hypogaea and A. villosa have been successfully crossed by Krapovickas and Rigoni (1951), D' Cruz (1956), and Raman (1959). Other interspecific crosses involving A.hypogaea, A. monticola and other wild species, not named then, have also been reported by Raman (1958, 1959 a, b, c, 1960). John et al (1954) reported to have made several successful crosses among three species, viz. A. rasteiro, A. nambyquarae and A. hypogaea.
