Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Antirrhinum plant named ‘Sunkisupapu’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit and short internodes; dense and bushy plant form; numerous red purple-colored flowers; and long flowering period.

Description

Botanical designation: Antirrhinum majus×Antirrhinum hispanicum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunkisupapu’.
CROSS-REFERENCED TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
Title: Antirrhinum Plant Named ‘Sunkisupin’; filed concurrently First Named Applicant: Kazunari Iwaki
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Antirrhinum, botanically known as Antirrhinum majus×Antirrhinum hispanicum and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunkisupapu’.
The new Antirrhinum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely flowering potted Antirrhinums.
The new Antirrhinum originated from a cross-pollination in Shiga, Japan in May, 2002 of a proprietary selection of Antirrhinum majus×Antirrhinum hispanicum identified as code number His13-4, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Antirrhinum majus×Antirrhinum hispanicum identified as code number His13-2, not patented. The cultivar Sunkisupapu was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Shiga, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new Antirrhinum by cuttings in a controlled environment in Shiga, Japan since April, 2004, has shown that the unique features of this new Antirrhinum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Sunkisupapu has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sunkisupapu’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunkisupapu’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Antirrhinum:
    • 1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit and short internodes; dense and bushy plant form.
    • 3. Numerous red purple-colored flowers.
    • 4. Long flowering period.
Plants of the new Antirrhinum differ from plants of the female parent selection primarily in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have pink-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the new Antirrhinum have larger flowers and thicker lateral branches than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Antirrhinum differ from plants of the male parent selection primarily in flower size and lateral branch diameter as plants of the new Antirrhinum have larger flowers and thicker lateral branches than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Antirrhinum differ from plants of the cultivar Sunkisupin, U.S. Plant Patent application filed concurrently, primarily in flower color.
Plants of the new Antirrhinum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Festa Red, not patented. Plants of the new Antirrhinum and the cultivar Festa Red differ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Antirrhinum are taller and broader than plants of the cultivar Festa Red.
    • 2. Plants of the new Antirrhinum have longer and thicker lateral branches than plants of the cultivar Festa Red.
    • 3. Plants of the new Antirrhinum are more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Festa Red.
    • 4. Plants of the new Antirrhinum have shorter leaf petioles than plants of the cultivar Festa Red.
    • 5. Plants of the new Antirrhinum have much longer inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Festa Red.
    • 6. Plants of the new Antirrhinum and the cultivar Festa Red differ in flower color as plants of the cultivar Festa Red have red-colored flowers.
    • 7. Plants of the new Antirrhinum are more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Festa Red.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Antirrhinum, 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 Antirrhinum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunkisupapu’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom or the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Sunkisupapu’.
