Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant named ‘Penmys’ that is characterized by a profuse display of dark violet-blue flowers that are uniform, and a more compact form than others in this color range. In combination these characteristics set ‘Penmys’ apart from all other existing varieties of Nemesia known to the inventor.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is related to another application entitled Nemesia Plant Named ‘Pensug’, having the same inventor as the present invention.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia, that will be referred to hereinafter by the cultivar name ‘Penmys’. The new Nemesia was selected in Netherwent, Caldicot, South Wales on May 1, 1998 by the inventor. The parents are of hybrid origin and have not themselves been released. The first crosses were made in 1997 with plants selected by the inventor from a long term Nemesia breeding program.
The breeding program involved cross-pollination of Nemesia hybrids from which seedling selection was based on the production of a dark blue flowering Nemesia, with numerous flowers, uniform flowers, and a compact habit.
The combined characteristics of the new invention ‘Penmys’ are unique. ‘Penmys’ is distinguished from other existing Nemesias by a compact habit, uniform flowers, and abundant flowers of a dark violet-blue color. The closest comparison cultivar is ‘Woodcote’ (unpatented), which is grown in the United Kingdom. ‘Penmys’ is distinguishable from ‘Woodcote’ (unpatented) by its greater abundance of flowers and its larger dimensions, ‘Woodcote’ (unpatented) being only 15 cm. tall when in full flower.
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by the inventor on May 1, 1998 in Netherwent, Caldicot, South Wales, using terminal cuttings. ‘Penmys’ has been found to be true to type after many cycles of vegetative cuttings from 1998 to the present.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new invention. ‘Penmys’ is free-flowering, with dark violet-blue, uniform flowers and a more compact habit than other Nemesias in this color range. In combination these traits distinguish ‘Penmys’ from all other existing varieties of Nemesia known to the inventor.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying color photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar.
Sheet 1 illustrates the entire plant and habit.
Sheet 2 is a close-up view of the flowers.
Sheet 3 illustrates a stem with leaves and flowers. All photographs are taken of plants grown in two-gallon containers. The prints were made using conventional photographic techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance, they are as accurate as possible by conventional photography.
BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following is a detailed description of the Nemesia cultivar named ‘Penmys’. Data was collected in Arroyo Grande, Calif. from 9-month-old plants grown in two-gallon containers. Phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions. The color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to other Nemesias and ‘Penmys’ is resistant to common pests and diseases.
