Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant named `Bosaque`, characterized by its very early flowering, plants flower about 12 weeks after planting; medium stem length, typically about 55 cm; small reddish purple berries; and excellent postproduction longevity, cut stems typically last about 16 days.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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 `Bosaque`. To date, the new Hypericum has not been noted to have any medicinal value.
The new Hypericum 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 proprietary seedlings. The proprietary selection code number 83 was the female, or seed, parent, and the proprietary selection code number 75 was the male, or pollen, parent.
The cultivar `Bosaque` 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 Hypericum 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.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Bosaque`. These characteristics in combination distinguish the new Hypericum plant as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Very early flowering; plants flower about 12 weeks after planting.
2. Medium stem length; typically about 55 cm.
3. Small reddish purple berries.
4. Excellent postproduction longevity; cut stems typically last about 16 days.
The new Hypericum can be compared to the cultivar `Dual Flair`, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,979. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands, plants of the new Hypericum flower earlier, are taller, have smaller leaves, and berries are more red in color than plants of the cultivar `Dual Flair`.
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.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the new Hypericum plant, 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 sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical plants with berries of the new Hypericum under outdoor commercial production.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves, berries and flowers 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.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
