Abstract

Disclosed herein is a new and distinct variety of Calibrachoa plant, having a semi-decumbent habit. The Calibrachoa plant has abundant branching particularly with respect to secondary branching, and a great profusion of blooms with the entire plant remaining in bloom for a considerable period of time. the flowers are single and very small with the white petals. the base color of the corolla throat is brilliant greenish yellow and the outside of the corolla tube is brilliant greenish yellow. The plant exhibits high resistance to rain, heat, drought and diseases such as powdery mildew.

Description

Botanical/commercial classification: Calibrachoa sp.
Varietal denomination: cv. ‘Sunbelho’.
BACKGROUND OF THE VARIETY
The Calibrachoa is a very popular plant that is used for flower bedding and potting in the summer season. There are only a few Calibrachoa having small flowers, currently classified as Calibrachoa, such as ‘Suntory SP-R’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,557), ‘Sunberubu’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,754, ‘Sunbelchipi’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,355) and ‘Sunbelki’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,558). These are of the semi-decumbent type, a medium plant height, abundant, branching, and a high resistance to heat and rain and disease.
The new variety of Calibrachoa plant according to this invention originated from crossing with the Calibrachoa variety called ‘9W16’ and the other Calibrachoa plant variety called ‘9W6’.
First of all, a crossing was conducted with the ‘9W16’ variety as female parent and a Calibrachoa plant variety ‘9W6’ as pollen parent in April 1998 at 863-1, Aza-Iketani, Omori-cho, Yokaichi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan. From that crossing 50 seedlings were obtained and 5 seedlings were selected in view of their semi-erect growth habit by the end of September 1999. These 5 seedlings were grown and were tested during potting and bedding trials. Only one plant was selected in September 2000. The selected plant was propagated by cutting and then grown in pot on trial in the green house and the field at 863-1, Aza-Iketani, Omori-cho, Yokaichi-shi, Shiga-ken, Japan from April to October 2001. The botanical characteristics of the finally selected plant were examined, using similar variety ‘Sunbelchipi’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,355) for comparison. As a result, it was concluded that this new Calibrachoa is distinguishable from any other variety, whose existence is known to us, and is uniform and stable in its characteristics. This new variety of Calibrachoa plant was named ‘Sunbelho’.The new variety reproduces true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
In the following description, the color information is in accordance with The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England. A color chart based on The Japan Color Standard for Horticultural Plants (J.H.S. Color Chart) is also added for reference.
The ‘9W16’, used as female parent in the obtaining of this new variety ‘Sunbelho’, is our bred variety previously filed in Japan. The main botanical characteristics of the ‘9W16’ are as follows:
