Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named `Skylark`, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; slow growth rate; large decorative-type inflorescences; lavender ray florets; numerous ray florets per inflorescence; and good garden performance.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of garden Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandifiora and referred to by the cultivar name Skylark.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program was to create new garden Chrysanthemum cultivars having desirable inflorescence colors and good garden performance.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of the proprietary selection 7/GM/94 as the female, or seed, parent with the commercial cultivar Lynn (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,171) as the male, or pollen, parent.
The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Skylark`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Skylark` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and compact plant habit, slow growth rate.
2. Large decorative-type inflorescences.
3. Lavender ray florets.
4. Numerous ray florets per inflorescence.
5. Good garden performance.
The cultivar Skylark 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.
In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum have more ray florets, differ in ray floret color and flower later than plants of the female parent, the proprietary selection 7/GM/94. In the same comparisons, plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more open and upright in plant habit, have slightly larger inflorescences, fewer inflorescences and flower earlier than plants of the cultivar Lynn. In addition, plants of the new Chrysanthemum have darker ray florets than plants of the cultivar Lynn.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to the cultivar Debonair (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,324). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Oxnard, Calif., under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Debonair in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are shorter, more compact and slower in growth rate than plants of the cultivar Debonair.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are not as freely branching as plants of the cultivar Debonair.
3. Leaves of plants of the new Chrysanthemum have three lobes whereas leaves of plants of the cultivar Debonair have five lobes.
4. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have larger but fewer inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Debonair.
5. Ray floret color of plants of the new Chrysanthemum is slightly lighter than ray floret color of plants of the cultivar Debonair.
6. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have longer peduncles than plants of the cultivar Debonair.
A detailed comparison of plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the cultivar Debonair appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 first photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering 16.5-cm container of `Skylark` with one cutting in the container.
The second photograph comprises a close-up view of four leaves at different stages of development and a fully opened inflorescence. Foliage and floret colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
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. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Oxnard, Calif., under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with average night temperatures of 18° C., average day temperatures of 30° C., and light levels of 2,000 (cloudy conditions) to 9,000 (sunny conditions) footcandles.
After sticking unrooted cuttings of the new cultivar, plants received 4 weeks of long day/short nights followed by short day/long nights until flowering. Measurements and numerical values represent ranges or averages for six typical flowering plants.
