Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named Kerinci, characterized by its dark pink flower color; moderately vigorous plant growth habit; rapid growth rate; freely branching habit; proportional leaf size to plant size; uniform plant habit and inflorescence display; early flowering; floriferousness; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant, botanically known as Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Kerinci.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Kalanchoe cultivars having a uniform plant habit, good flower and foliage colors, and flowers and foliage with good substance.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of the Kalanchoe cultivar Santorini (not patented) as the male or pollen parent with the Kalanchoe cultivar Kiebessy (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,767) as the female or seed parent.
The cultivar Kerinci was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in De Lier, The Netherlands. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at De Lier, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Kalanchoe are stabilized and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Kerinci has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in De Lier, The Netherlands, under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures ranging from 19 to 21 C. and night temperatures ranging from 18 to 19 C.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of Kerinci. These characteristics in combination distinguish Kerinci as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Dark pink flower color.
2. Moderately vigorous plant growth habit and rapid growth rate.
3. Freely branching habit with shoots forming at every node. Plants do not require pinching.
4. Proportional leaf size to plant size.
5. Suitable for various container sizes from 10 to 12 cm.
6. Uniform plant habit and inflorescence display.
7. Early flowering.
8. Very floriferous with numerous flowers per plant.
9. Good postproduction longevity.
The new Kalanchoe differs from the parent cultivar Santorini in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the cultivar Kerinci are more compact and more uniform in plant habit than plants of the cultivar Santorini.
2. The petal color of plants of the cultivar Kerinci is dark pink whereas the petal color of plants of the cultivar Santorini is orange.
Plants of the cultivar Kerinci are most similar in petal color to the female parent, the cultivar Kiebessy. The cultivar Kerinci differs from the cultivar Kiebessy in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the cultivar Kerinci are more compact and more uniform in plant habit and inflorescence display than plants of the cultivar Kiebessy.
2. Plants of the cultivar Kerinci have shorter lateral branches and internodes than plants of the cultivar Kiebessy.
3. Plants of the cultivar Kerinci have smaller but more leaves per lateral branch than plants of the cultivar Kiebessy.
4. Plants of the cultivar Kerinci flower several days earlier than plants of the cultivar Kiebessy.
5. Petal color of plants of the cultivar Kerinci fade less with age compared to the petal color of plants of the cultivar Kiebessy.
A detailed comparison of the cultivars Kerinci and Kiebessy appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical potted plant of Kerinci taken under natural light conditions at approximately noon in De Lier, The Netherlands.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for twelve typical plants in 10.5-cm containers and treated with daminozide growth retardant at a rate of 4 grams per liter.
Botanical classification: Kalanchoe blossfeldiana cultivar Kerinci.
