Description

LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Gypsophila paniculata.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Dangypfun’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gypsophila plant, botanically known as Gypsophila paniculata, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Dangypfun’.
‘Dangypfun’ is a spontaneous branch mutation of cultivar Gypsophila ‘Dangypmini’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,964) selected in a cultivated environment in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel by the inventor, Gabriel Danziger. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by side shoot cutting was first performed in January, 2001, in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed, reproduce true to type, and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Dangypfun’ which in combination distinguish this Gypsophila as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Semi double, white flowers, very small, 4-5 mm diameter, 1500-2000 flowers per stem;
2. Buds remain unfolded for several days;
3. Flowers arranged in clusters, maintain stability during hot season, plant height of 80-90 cm, open formation;
4. Apical dominance growth habit;
5. 10-14 days cut flower longevity.
‘Dangypfun’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length without any change in the genotype of the plant. The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grown in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Dangypfun’ is the cultivar ‘Dangypmini’. In comparison to ‘Dangypmini’, flowers of ‘Dangypfun’ are smaller by 1-2 mm and have less petals during low light intensities. The fully developed buds of ‘Dangypfun’ remain unfolded for several days whereas fully developed buds of ‘Dangypmini’ open immediately. The flowering time of ‘Dangypfun’ is on average one week later than ‘Dangypmini’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘Dangypfun’ with colors being as true as possible will illustrations of this type.
The first drawing is a close-up view of a flowering stem segment, and the second drawing shows a flowering stem of the instant plant.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar 3 months from planting as grown in Moshav Mishmar hashiva, Israel under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice recommended for Gypsophila plants, in open field during summer and in a protected greenhouse during winter. The minimum temperature during winter is 15° C., the summer temperature ranging from 18-40° C. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.), except where general colors of ordinary significance are used.
