Description

BACKGROUNG OF THE VARIETY
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Verbena hybrida plant obtained from crossing a Verbena hybrida named `Romance Scarlet with Eye` (♀) and a wild type of Verbena plant Verbena peruviana (♂) native to Brazil.
The Verbena is a very popular plant and is used for flower bedding and potting in the summer season. There are only a few varieties of the Verbena plant which have a spreading growth habit, much branching, a large number of flowers in a cluster and which have a high resistance to rain, heat, cold, and diseases. Accordingly, this invention was aimed at obtianing a new variety having a spreading growth habit, strong branching, a large number of flowers in a cluster, a flower of large diameter, a high tolerance to heat and cold, and resistance to diseases and pests, and also having vivid red-purple colored petals.
The new variety of Verbena plant according to this invention originated from crossing a Verbena hybrida named `Romance Scarlet with Eye` (non-patented in the United States) (♀) and a wild type of Verbena plant Verbena peruviana (♂) native to Brazil.
Initially, 64 seedling were obtained in the autumn of 1994, from crossing `Romance Scarlet with Eye` as the female parent and a wild type of Verbena plant (Verbena peruviana f. rosea) as the pollen parent in May of 1994. From this crossing, 1 seeedling was selected in view of its spreading growth habit and was propagated by cuttings, and then growth as a trial in flower beds and in planters beginning in the spring of 1995. In the autumn of 1995 the botanical characteristics were examined, using the similar varieties `Sunmarisu` (non-patented in the United States) and `Derby Scarlet` (non-patented in the United States) for comparison. As a result, it was concluded that this Verbena is distinguishable from any other variety, whose existence is known to us, and is uniform and stable in its characteristics, then this new variety of Verbena hybrida plant was named `Sunmaribisu`.
In the following description, the color-coding is in accordance with the Horicultural Color Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England (R.H.S. Colour Chart), and the Inter-Society color Council-Nation Bureau of Standard Color Name (I.S.C.C.-N.B.S. Color Name). A color chart based on The Japan Color Standard for Horticultural Plant (J.H.S. Color Chart) is also added for reference.
`Romance Scarlet with Eye` was used as the female parent when obtaining this new variety `Sunmaribisu`. `Romance Scarlet with Eye` has an erect growth habit and is publicly available.
The pollen parent used in obtaining this new variety `Sunmaribisu` was a wild type of Verbena native to South Brazil, Verbena peruviana. This wild type of verbena plant is presently maintained at the Hakushu Nursery Center of Suntory Ltd., 2913-1 Torihara, Hakushu-cho, Kitakoma-gun, Yamanashi-ken, Japan. The main botanical characteristcs of this pollen parent are as follows when grown at the Hakushu Nursery Center of Suntory ltd., 2913-1 Torihara, Hakushu-cho, Kitakoma-gun, Yamanashi-ken, Japan.
