Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Yokey West’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; vigorous and strong growth habit; freely branching habit; strong, dark green foliage; uniform flowering; nine-week response time; numerous large daisy-type inflorescences that are about 7.8 cm in diameter; dark orange to red-colored ray florets with golden yellow longitudinal streaks radiating from the base longitudinally; large disc with green disc florets that are slow to mature to bright yellow; and good postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for about three 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 Yokey West.
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 good post-production longevity.
The new Chrysanthemum originated from a cross made by the Inventor in October, 1994, in Salinas, Calif., of a proprietary Dendranthema grandiflora seedling selection identified as YB-5792, as the female, or seed, parent, with a proprietary Dendranthema grandiflora seedling selection identified as YB-4369, as the male, or pollen, 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 Alva, Fla., in November, 1995. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form and floret colors and good post-production longevity.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by terminal cuttings harvested in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla., has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Yokey West 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 ‘Yokey West’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yokey West’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Compact; upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Vigorous and strong growth habit.
3. Freely branching habit, full and dense plants.
4. Strong, dark green foliage.
5. Uniform flowering.
6. Nine-week response time.
7. Very freely flowering; numerous large daisy-type inflorescences that are about 7.8 cm in diameter; best produced as a natural spray-type Chrysanthemum.
8. Dark orange to red-colored ray florets with golden yellow longitudinal streaks radiating from the base longitudinally; ray florets held upright.
9. Large disc with green disc florets that are slow to mature to bright yellow.
10. Good postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for about three weeks in an interior environment.
The new Chrysanthemum can be compared to the Chrysanthemum cultivar Tijuana Sunset, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,462. However in side-by-side comparisons in Salinas, Calif., and Leamington, Ontario, Canada, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the cultivar Tijuana Sunset in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Tijuana Sunset.
2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have lighter green and more deeply lobed leaves than plants of the cultivar Tijuana Sunset.
3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower about four or five days later than plants of the cultivar Tijuana Sunset.
4. Ray florets of the new Chrysanthemum are lighter red in color than ray florets of the cultivar Tijuana Sunset.
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 side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Yokey West’.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet comprises a close-up view of a inflorescence and upper (left) and lower (right) surfaces of typical leaves of the cultivar Yokey West.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Yokey West’ (left) and ‘Tijuana Sunset’ (right).
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of plants of ‘Yokey West’ (left) and ‘Tijuana Sunset’ (right). 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 Horticultural 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 unrooted cuttings were directly stuck in a 15-cm container and pinched once. Plants used for this description were grown as natural spray-types. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering plants.
