Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Brighamia plant named ‘Kirsten’, characterized by its upright, uniform and compact growth habit; short thick stems; light green-colored leaves; and numerous yellow-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Brighamia insignis cultivar Kirsten.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Brighamia plant, botanically known as Brighamia insignis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Kirsten’.
The new Brighamia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Schipluiden, The Netherlands. The objective of the program is to create and develop new compact and uniform Brighamia cultivars.
The new Brighamia originated from a cross-pollination of two unidentified selections of Brighamia insignis, not patented, in 1996. The new Brighamia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Voorhout, The Netherlands in June, 1999.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by meristem culture in Voorhout, The Netherlands since July, 2000, has shown that the unique features of this new Brighamia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Kirsten have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and/or light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Kirsten’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kirsten’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright, uniform and compact growth habit.
2. Short thick stem.
3. Light green-colored leaves.
4. Numerous yellow-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Brighamia differ from plants of the parent selections and other selections of Brighamia known to the Inventor in growth habit cultivar as plants of the new Brighamia are more compact and grow and flower more uniformly.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 reproduction of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Brighamia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower and flower buds of ‘Kirsten’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Kirsten’ grown in a container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the above-mentioned photographs and botanical description were grown in Voorhout, The Netherlands in a glass-covered greenhouse in containers during the summer and fall. During the production of the plants, day temperatures were about 20° C. and night temperatures were about 18° C. Plants are used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were about two years old.
