Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant named ‘Pensug’ that is characterized by uniform and abundant flowering, pure-white fragrant flowers, and a compact habit, setting it 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 ‘Penmys’, 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 ‘Pensug’. 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, but are intermediate seedlings in the selection process. The first crosses were made in South Wales by the inventor in 1997 with plants selected from a long term Nemesia breeding program.
Breeding was carried out by cross pollination of Nemesia hybrids and seedling selection was made on the basis of producing a white flowering Nemesia with numerous flowers, scented flowers, uniform flowers and compact habit.
The combined characteristics of the new invention ‘Pensug’ are unique. ‘Pensug’ is distinguished from all other cultivars, in this color range, by its abundant pure-white, scented and uniform flowers and its compact habit, making ‘Pensug’ more fragrant, compact, and uniform in flowering than any other white variety. The closest comparison cultivar is Nemesia ‘Innocence’ (unpatented). The new cultivar is distinct from ‘Innocence’ (unpatented) in its profuse flowering, larger flower, upright habit and greater height.
‘Pensug’ was first asexually propagated by the inventor on May 1, 1998 in Netherwent, Caldicot, South Wales and has been found to be true to type after many cycles of vegetative cuttings since that time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Nemesia cultivar. ‘Pensug’ is fragrant, more floriferous, more compact in habit and more uniform in flowering than any other white Nemesia. ‘Pensug’ is distinct from ‘Innocence’ in its taller, more upright habit and larger pure white flowers. In combination these attributes distinguish this cultivar from all other existing varieties 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 habit and flowering.
Sheet 2 compares ‘Innocence’ (unpatented) on the left to ‘Pensug’ on the right.
Sheet 3 shows a close-up view of the 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 ‘Pensug’. 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 ‘Pensug’ is resistant to common pests and disease.
