Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant named `Bosapin`, characterized by its long flowering stems; large bright red berries; dark green leaves; and excelllent postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant, botanically known as Hypericum androsaemum, commonly referred to as Saint John's Wort, commercially used as a cut flower, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Bosapin`.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop cut Hypericum varieties with attractive berry color, early flowering, long flowering stem length, and large berry size. The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor in 1988 of two prorietary seedlings. The proprietary selection code number 93 was the female, or seed, parent, and the proprietary selection code number 71 was the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar `Bosapin` was discovered and selected by the inventor in August, 1989 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Rijnsburg, the Netherlands.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by cuttings taken at Rijnsburg, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Hypericum plant 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 `Bosapin`. These characteristics in combination distinguish the new Hypericum plant as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Long flowering stems.
2. Large bright red berries.
3. Dark green leaves.
4. Excellent postproduction longevity; cut stems typically last about 16 days.
The new Hypericum can be compared to the cultivar, `Dual Flair` (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/004,125). In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands, plants of the new Hypericum were taller, had larger and redder berries, and flowered later than plants of the cultivar `Bosadua`.
Plants of the new Hypericum have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light or fertility level, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the new Hypericum plant, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproduction of this type.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a view of typical flowering plants of the new Hypericum plant under commercial production in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves of plants of the new Hypericum.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of plants of the new Hypericum.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical berries of plants of the new Hypericum. Flower, fruit and foliage color in these photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands, under outdoor commercial production practice. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordianry dictionary significance are used.
