Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Raspberry Yolompoc’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching, dense and full plants; dark green foliage; uniform flowering; early flowering, eight-week response time; very freely flowering with about nine inflorescences per lateral stem; daisy-type inflorescences that are about 6.3 cm in diameter; rich reddish purple-colored ray florets and bright yellow disc florets; and excellent postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for at least three weeks in an interior environment.

Description

BLACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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 Raspberry Yolompoc.
The new Chrysanthemum is a product of a mutation induction breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Fort Myers, Fla. and Salinas, Calif. The objective of the program is to create new Chrysanthemum cultivars with desirable inflorescence form and floret colors, good substance, and excellent post-production longevity.
The new Chrysanthemum originated by exposing unrooted cuttings of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Yolompoc, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,203, to X-ray radiation in September, 1996, in Fort Myers, Fla. Following the radiation treatment, the cuttings were rooted and terminal apices were removed (pinched) three times to promote lateral branch development. After lateral branches from the third pinch reached sufficient size, terminal cuttings were harvested, planted and flowered in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within this population in April, 1997. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form and ray floret color.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by terminal cuttings harvested in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif., has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Raspberry Yolompoc 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 ‘Raspberry Yolompoc’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Raspberry Yolompoc’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching, dense and full plants.
3. Dark green foliage.
4. Uniform flowering.
5. Early flowering, eight-week response time.
6. Very freely flowering; about nine inflorescences per lateral stem.
7. Daisy-type inflorescences that are about 6.3 cm in diameter.
8. Rich reddish purple-colored ray florets and bright yellow disc florets.
9. Excellent postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for at least three weeks in an interior environment.
Compared to plants of the parent cultivar, Yolompoc, ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more red in color than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Yolompoc. In addition, plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower about two or three days later than plants of the cultivar Yolompoc.
Compared to plants of the cultivar Regal Yolompoc, U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/525,659, filed concurrently with this application, ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more red and slightly lighter in color than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Regal Yolompoc.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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. Colors in the photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Chrysanthemum.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Raspberry Yolompoc’.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet comprises a close-up view of upper (left) and lower (right) surfaces of typical inflorescences and upper (left) and lower (right) surfaces of typical leaves of the cultivar Raspberry Yolompoc.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Raspberry Yolompoc’ (left) and ‘Yolompoc’ (right).
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of plants of ‘Raspberry Yolompoc’ (left) and ‘Yolompoc’ (right).
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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 and flowered during the Autumn in 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 center budded-types. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering plants.
