Abstract

A new and distinct Jamesbrittenia plant named ‘Balbrelav’, characterized by its lavender flowers, spreading, trailing habit, and leaves of a medium green color.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of plant claimed: Jamesbrittenia grandiflora.
Variety denomination: ‘Balbrelav’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Jamesbrittenia plant, botanically known as Jamesbrittenia grandiflora, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Balbrelav’.
‘Balbrelav’ originated from the open pollination of a Jamesbrittenia grandiflora selection designated BRD-018 (not patented) during October 2000. The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor during February 2001, in a controlled environment at Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar, in Arroyo Grande, Calif. and West Chicago, Ill., by terminal tip cuttings, has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) exhibits lavender flowers,
(b) forms medium green foliage, and
(c) exhibits a spreading and trailing growth habit.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to Candy Floss™ ‘Blue’ (not patented). In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar exhibit a taller growth habit, have longer branches but shorter internodes and flowers with a lighter and more violet color than Candy Floss™ ‘Blue’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photographs show as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors are as accurately represented as can be made by conventional photography. The plants were grown in 10 cm pots for 10 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., U.S.A.
FIG. 1 illustrates the overall plant form.
FIG. 2 illustrates close-up view of foliage and individual flowers.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The cultivar ‘Balbrelav’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length. The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England. The color values were determined on Oct. 15, 2002. The readings were taken between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. under natural daylight conditions. The plants were produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and were grown in a double polycarbonate covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice while utilizing a soilless growth medium and maintaining temperatures of approximately 65-75° F. during the day and approximately 55-60° F. during the night and light levels of approximately 4,000 to 8,000 footcandles. Plants used for the following descriptions and measurements were grown for 10 weeks from rooted cuttings.
Classification:
Botanical.—Jamesbrittenia grandiflora cultivar ‘Balbrelav’.
Common name.—Bacopa.
Parentage: Open pollination of Jamesbrittenia grandiflora selection designated BRD-018.

Time to develop roots.—Approximately 21 to 30 days.
Root description.—Fibrous, branching.
Plant description:
Type.—Annual.
Habit of growth.—Moderately vigorous with good basal branching. Pinching improves basal branching. A mature plant, 10 weeks after the planting of a rooted cutting, commonly measures approximately 15.7 cm in height and approximately 29.6 cm in diameter with an average of 8 branches.
Form.—Spreading and trailing.
Stem.—Length: Approximately 47.2 cm. Diameter: Approximately 2 mm. Texture: Pubescent with short hairs. Color: 144B. Internode length at middle of branch is approximately 1.7 cm.

Upper and lower surfaces are slightly rugose and non pubescent. Leaf length is approximately 1.5 cm and width is approximately 1.3 cm. Upper surfaces of both young and mature foliage is closest to but more yellow than 137A, lower surface of both young and mature foliage is closest to but more yellow than 137B. Both upper and lower surfaces have pinnate venation closest to 144B. Petiole length is approximately 5 mm, diameter is approximately 1 mm, surface is densely pubescent and color is closest to 144B.
Flowering description:
Flowering habit.—Freely flowering.
Natural flowering season.—Year round in greenhouse environment; April through October in outdoor garden.
Flower type.—Solitary, axillary, salverform. Flowers are persistent.
Peduncle.—Strong, at an acute angle to the stem, and pubescent with very short hairs.
Length.—Approximately 1.4 cm. Diameter: Less than 1 mm. Color: 144B.
Bud.—Club shaped, approximately 1.2 cm in length, 4 mm in diameter. Color: 85D.
Flower description.—Non-fragrant. Corolla is round, approximately 2 cm in diameter composed of five (5) flat rectangular shaped petals. Petals are glabrous, iridescent, approximately 8 mm long and 6 mm wide, have an entire margin and flat to somewhat emarginate tip. Color of upper surface of petals when flower is opening and when fully opened is N81B with N81A at base where petals are fused, forming a ring around tube opening. Venation of 83A is present at base of petals and into corolla tube. Color of lower surface of petals both when opening and when fully opened is 85D. Corolla tube is approximately 2 mm in diameter, 1.1 cm in length and pubescent on both inner and outer surface. Color of inner surface: 23A with veins of 83A. Color of outer surface: 13C.
Calyx.—Five parted tube fused at base. Approximately 3 mm in length. Sepals are linear, less than 1 mm in width, have an acute apex, entire margin. The both surfaces are densely pubescent and 143B.
Reproductive organs.—Androecium: There are 4 stamens fused to the inside of the corolla tube, 2 above and 2 below the stigma. Anther length: Approximately 1 mm. Anther color: 7B. Pollen amount: Abundant. Pollen color: 13B. Gynoecium: One pistil, 8 mm in length. Stigma length: Approximately 1 mm. Stigma color: 144C. Style length: Approximately 5 mm. Style color: N144C.
