Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant named ‘Bosaney’, characterized by its medium to late flowering; long stem length; medium-sized light orange red-colored berries; and excellent post-production longevity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant, botanically known as Hypericum androsaemum, commercially used as a cut flower, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bosaney’. The new Hypericum does not 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 large berries, attractive berry color and long flowering stem length.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1988 of two proprietary selections. The female, or seed, parent was identified as code number 93 and the male, or pollen, parent was identified as code number 71. The cultivar Bosaney was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1994 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Zimbabwe.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hypericum by terminal cuttings taken at Rijnsburg, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Hypericum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Bosaney’. These charateristics in combination distinguish ‘Bosaney’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Medium to late flowering.
2. Long stem length.
3. Medium-sized light orange red-colored berries.
4. Excellent post-production longevity.
Compared to plants of the female parent, code number 93, which have light pink-colored berries, plants of the new Hypericum produce larger berries. Compared to plants of the male parent, code number 71, which have salmon-colored berries, plants of the new Hypericum produce smaller berries.
Plants of the new Hypericum can be compared to plants of the Hypericum cultivar ‘Bosapin’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,993. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands, plants of the new Hypericum have shorter leaves, smaller berries and have lighter colored berries than plants of the cultivar ‘Bosapin’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hypericum, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new Hypericum.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Bosaney’.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical opened flower of ‘Bosaney’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of typical berries of ‘Bosaney’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new Hypericum 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 observations and measurements describe plants grown in Rijnsburg, The Netherlands, under outdoor commercial production practice planted in the field. Plants used for the description were about two years old. 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.
