Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Gerbera plant named `Tereros`, as illustrated and described, characterized by its semi-double type, the special combination of the colors yellow and orange throughout the flower in nice contrast to the small brown/purple disc, the light yellow styles and anthers, an overall flower diameter of 100 mm and with flowers of extreme good quality.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Gerbera jamesonii, referred to by the cultivar name `Tereros`.
`Tereros` was originated from a hybridization program in De Kwakel, The Netherlands in 1993. The female parent was the unnamed seedling `92.008` (unpatented) and the male parent was `Sundance` (unpatented). The female parent `92.008` was completely yellow, semi-double and had a distinct black center. The male parent differs from the new invention because of its single type flower. The present invention comprises an improvement of the vaselife of the male parent. The new cultivar was selected by me from the progeny of the stated parentage on or about February 1994. The first asexual reproduction of `Tereros` was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken on February 1995 in De Kwakel. The new cultivar is presently being propagated by cuttings and tissue culture. Horticultural examination of selected units initiated in 1997 has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for `Tereros` are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
`Tereros` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, under greenhouse conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice. The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of `Tereros`, which in combination distinguish this Gerbera from its parents and all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. Type: Semi-double.
2. Color of ray floret: Yellow and orange.
3. Color of disc before opening of disc florets: Brown/purple, R.H.S. 187A; more intense in center.
4. Color of perianth lobe: Dark green, R.H.S. 137A.
5. Diameter of flower head: Approx. 90-100 mm.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to me, there is no cultivar similar in comparison to `Tereros`.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawings show typical inflorescence and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar with the colors being shown as nearly true as is reasonably possible to attain in illustrations of this type.
The top photograph illustrates the flower head pictured across face.
The photograph at the bottom illustrates a typical leaf of the present invention.
BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
Botanical: Gerbera jamesonii cv. `Tereros`.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.). The color values were determined at 15.30 p.m. on Jan. 26, 1998 under artificial light at De Kwakel.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of `Tereros`, which in combination distinguish this Gerbera as a new and distinct cultivar.
