Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum plant named ‘Cobeer’, characterized by its compact, uniform, upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; glossy dark green foliage; freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant; fully double inflorescence form; and purple-colored ray florets that fade to pink with subsequent development.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar denomination: Argyranthemum frutescens cultivar Cobeer.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum plant, botanically known as Argyranthemum frutescens and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Cobeer’.
The new Argyranthemum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia. The objective of the program is to create and develop new compact Argyranthemum cultivars with numerous inflorescences with attractive ray floret coloration.
The new Argyranthemum originated from a cross by the Inventor in 1995 of the Argyranthemum frutescens cultivar Summer Stars Pink, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,939, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Argyranthemum frutescens identified as code number X95.1395.1, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Argyranthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia in 1996. The selection of the new Argyranthemum was based on its fully double inflorescences and purple-colored ray florets.
Asexual reproduction of the new Argyranthemum by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia, since October, 1996, has shown that the unique features of this new Argyranthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new Argyranthemum has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Cobeer’ and distinguish the new Argyranthemum as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact, uniform, upright and mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit, dense and bushy plants.
3. Glossy dark green foliage.
4. Freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant.
5. Fully double inflorescence form.
6. Purple-colored ray florets that fade to pink with subsequent development.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum differ from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Summer Stars Pink, in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Argyranthemum are more compact than plants of the cultivar Summer Stars Pink.
2. Inflorescences of plants of the new Argyranthemum are fully double in form whereas inflorescences of plants of the cultivar Summer Stars Pink are semi-double in form.
3. Plants of the new Argyranthemum have purple-colored ray florets whereas plants of the cultivar Summer Stars Pink have pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum differ from plants of the male parent, the selection X95.1395.1, in the following characteristics:
1. Inflorescences of plants of the new Argyranthemum are fully double in form whereas inflorescences of plants of the selection X95.1395.1 are anemone in form.
2. Plants of the new Argyranthemum have purple-colored ray florets whereas plants of the selection X95.1395.1 have pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Summer Melody, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,763. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Argyranthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Summer Melody in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Argyranthemum were more compact than plants of the cultivar Summer Melody.
2. Plants of the new Argyranthemum had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Summer Melody.
3. Plants of the new Argyranthemum had smaller inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Summer Melody.
4. Ray florets of plants of the new Argyranthemum were darker in color than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Summer Melody.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Dahlia Pink, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Argyranthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Dahlia Pink in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Argyranthemum were much more compact than plants of the cultivar Dahlia Pink.
2. Plants of the new Argyranthemum had smaller inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Dahlia Pink.
3. Ray florets of plants of the new Argyranthemum were darker in color than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Dahlia Pink.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, 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 colors of the new Argyranthemum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of three typical flowering plants of ‘Cobeer’ grown in a 21-5-cm container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves, flower buds and inflorescences of ‘Cobeer’.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and averaged measurements describe plants grown in Encinitas, Calif., in an outdoor nursery during the late winter and early spring with day temperatures about 15° to 24° C., night temperatures about 10° to 19° C., and light levels about 5,000 foot-candles. Plants were grown for 14 weeks in 21.5-cm containers with three plants per container. Plants were pinched one time about five weeks after planting. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
