This invention belongs to the field of plant sex identification technology, and particularly relates to the application of a molecular marker in identifying the sex of *Zephyranthes* plants. The molecular marker is linked to the Y chromosome of *Zephyranthes* plants and comprises a sequence having at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:1. The molecular marker provided by this invention can be tightly linked to the Y chromosome of *Zephyranthes* plants, thereby achieving the purpose of early and rapid sex detection. This has significant practical implications for sex selection and proportioning of ornamental garden plants, understanding and protecting endangered *Zephyranthes* germplasm resources, and improving the effectiveness of ex-situ and in-situ conservation management.
