Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named ‘Samba’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; freely flowering habit; orange red-colored flowers; dark green leaves; good postproduction longevity; and resistance to Powdery Mildew.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION/CULTIVAR DESIGNATION
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana cultivar Samba.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant, botanically known as Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Samba’.
The new Kalanchoe is a product of the planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Odense, Denmark. The objective of the breeding program was to create new early-flowering Kalanchoe cultivars with bright and attractive flower colors and good postproduction longevity.
The new Kalanchoe originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Odense, Denmark of two unidentified proprietary selections of Kalanchoe, not patented. The new Kalanchoe was discovered and selected by the Inventor within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Odense, Denmark. The selection of this plant was based on its flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new Kalanchoe by terminal cuttings taken at Odense, Denmark, by the Inventor, has shown that the unique features of this new Kalanchoe are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Samba 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 ‘Samba’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Samba’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact and upright plant habit.
2. Freely flowering habit.
3. Orange red-colored flowers.
4. Dark green leaves.
5. Good postproduction longevity.
6. Resistant to Powdery Mildew.
Plants of the new Kalanchoe differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in flower color.
Plants of the new Kalanchoe can be compared to plants of the cultivar Apricot Revolution, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Odense, Denmark, plants of the new Kalanchoe differed from plants of the cultivar Apricot Revolution in the following characteristics:
1. Flower color of plants of the new Kalanchoe was darker than flower color of plants of the cultivar Apricot Revolution.
2. Plants of the new Kalanchoe had better postproduction longevity than plants of the cultivar Apricot Revolution.
3. Plants of the new Kalanchoe were more resistant to Powdery Mildew than plants of the cultivar Apricot Revolution.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Kalanchoe, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Kalanchoe.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical potted plant of ‘Samba’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of the following: side and top perspective views of typical flowering cymes, side perspective view of a single flower, and top perspective views of young and fully expanded leaves of ‘Samba’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and for the following observations and measurements were grown in Odense, Denmark, during the autumn under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse for about 14 to 18 weeks in 10.5-cm containers. Plants were exposed to photoinductive short day/long night conditions for the last 10 weeks of production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 20 and 18° C., respectively, Plants used in the photographs and description were not pinched.
