Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named `Soledad`, characterized by its compact and uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching habit, dense plants; uniform and early flowering; anemome spraytype inflorescences that are about 5.1 cm in diameter; attractive light pink to white-colored ray florets and red purple-tipped disc florets; numerous inflorescences per plant; and good postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for about three of four weeks in an interior environment.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Soledad.
The new Chrysanthemum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Salinas, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new pot-type Chrysanthemum cultivars having desirable inflorescence forms and floret colors and excellent post-production longevity.
The new Chrysanthemum originated from a cross made by the breeder in July, 1993, in Salinas, Calif., of the Dendranthema grandiflora cultivar Penny Lane (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,238) as the male, or pollen, parent with a proprietary Chrysanthemum seedling selection code No. 91-417001 as the female, or seed, 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 Salinas, Calif., in March, 1994. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form and floret colors and excellent post-production longevity.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by terminal cuttings harvested in a controlled environment is Salinas, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Soledad 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 traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Soledad`. These characateristics in combination distinguish `Soledad` as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Compact and uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit, dense plants.
3. Uniform and early flowering.
4. Anemone spray-type inflorescences that are about 5.1 cm in diameter.
5. Attractive light pink to white-colored ray florets and red purpletipped disc florets.
6. Numerous inflorescences per plant.
7. Good postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for about three or four weeks in an interior environment.
The new Chrysanthemum can be compared to the Chrysanthemum cultivar Bi-Time (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. application Ser. No. 08/232,653, now abandoned). However in side-by-side comparisons in Salinas, Calif., and Leamington, Ontario, Canada, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Bi-Time in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more compact and not as open as plants of the cultivar Bi-Time.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have smaller inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Bi-Time.
3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Chrysanthemum have shorter but more numerous ray florets than inflorescences of plants of the cultivar Bi-Time.
4. Disc floret color of plants of the new Chrysanthemum is lighter purple than disc floret color of plants of the cultivar Bi-Time.
5. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have shorter peduncles than plants of the cultivar Bi-Time.
A detailed comparison of plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the cultivar Bi-Time appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of `Soledad`.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of plants of `Soledad`.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of upper and lower surfaces of typical inflorescences (top) and leaves (bottom) of plants of `Soledad`.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical plants of `Soledad` (left) and `Bi-Time` (right) showing the differences in plant size, shape, inflorescence size and disc floret color. Floret and foliage 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 Horticulural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Salinas, Calif., and Leamington, Ontario, Canada, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial potted Chrysanthemum production. Four unrotted cuttings were directly stuck in a 15-cm container and pinched once. Measurments and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering plants.
