Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Scaevola plant named Wesscaeam, characterized by its spreading to cascading and uniformly rounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form; freely flowering habit; and solid violet-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Scaevola aemula.
Variety denomination: ‘Wesscaeam’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Scaevola plant, botanically known as Scaevola aemula and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Wesscaeam’.
The new Scaevola is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Südlohn, Germany. The new Scaevola originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor of a proprietary selection of Scaevola identified as code number 99Sc0, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Scaevola identified as code number 99Sc72, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Scaevola was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 2001 in a controlled environment in Südlohn, Germany as a single flowering plant within the resulting progeny from the stated cross-pollination.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings at Südlohn, Germany since 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new Scaevola are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new cultivar 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 the basic characteristics of ‘Wesscaeam’ which distinguish ‘Wesscaeam’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Spreading to cascading and uniformly rounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant form.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Solid violet-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Scaevola can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Südlohn, Germany, plants of the new Scaevola and the female parent selection differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Scaevola were more cascading and not as compact as plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Stems of plants of the new Scaevola were glabrous whereas stems of plants of the female parent selection were slightly pubescent.
- 3. Plants of the new Scaevola were more freely flowering than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Scaevola can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Südlohn, Germany, plants of the new Scaevola and the male parent selection differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Scaevola were more freely branching than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Scaevola were more freely flowering than plants of the male parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Scaevola had larger flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Scaevola can be compared to plants of the cultivar Brilliant, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,099. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Südlohn, Germany, plants of the new Scaevola and the cultivar Brilliant differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Scaevola had longer lateral branches and longer internodes than plants of the cultivar Brilliant.
- 2. Stems of plants of the new Scaevola were glabrous whereas stems of plants of the cultivar Brilliant were pubescent.
- 3. Plants of the new Scaevola were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Brilliant.
- 4. Plants of the new Scaevola and the cultivar Brilliant differed in flower color.
Plants of the new Scaevola can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Fancy, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,867. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Südlohn, Germany, plants of the new Scaevola and the cultivar Fancy differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Scaevola were more cascading than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
- 2. Plants of the new Scaevola were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
- 3. Plants of the new Scaevola and the cultivar Fancy differed in flower color.
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 actual colors of the new Scaevola.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Wesscaeam’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Wesscaeam’.
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and for the following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring and summer in a glass-covered greenhouse in Südlohn, Germany. Plants were about 35 weeks from planting rooted cuttings in 12-cm containers. During the production of the plants, the day temperatures ranged from 20 to 25° C. and night temperatures ranged from 16 to 18° C. Plants were pinched about three to four weeks after planting and then given a second pinch about four weeks later.
