Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Yojacqueline’, characterized by its compact, upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit; uniform and freely flowering habit; decorative-type inflorescences with elongated oblong to ligulate-shaped ray florets; light lavender and lavender-colored ray florets; and natural season flowering about September 25th in the Northern Hemisphere.

Description

Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Yojacqueline’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium, commercially grown as a garden Chrysanthemum and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Yojacqueline’.
The objective of the breeding program is to create new garden-type Chrysanthemum cultivars having inflorescences with desirable inflorescence forms, attractive floret colors and good garden performance.
The new Chrysanthemum originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in February, 2003, in Salinas, Calif. of the Chrysanthemum×morifolium cultivar Gedi One Sav, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,928, as the female, or seed, parent with the Chrysanthemum×morifolium cultivar Yoursula, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,641, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. in October, 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by vegetative cuttings was first conducted in Alva, Fla. in December, 2003. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Yojacqueline have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Yojacqueline’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yojacqueline’ as a new and distinct garden Chrysanthemum cultivar:
    • 1. Compact, upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit.
    • 3. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Decorative-type inflorescences with elongated oblong to ligulate-shaped ray florets.
    • 5. Light lavender and lavender-colored ray florets.
    • 6. Natural season flowering about September 25th in the Northern Hemisphere.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Gedi One Sav, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were smaller than plants of the cultivar Gedi One Sav.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered earlier than plants of the cultivar Gedi One Sav when grown under natural season conditions.
    • 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum were light lavender and lavender in color whereas ray florets of plants of the cultivar Gedi One Sav were greyed purple in color.
    • 4. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum retained color longer than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Gedi One Sav.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla. plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the male parent, the cultivar Yoursula, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were larger than plants of the cultivar Yoursula.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Yoursula.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Yoursula.
    • 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the cultivar Yoursula differed in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Yoursula had light purple-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Debonair, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,324. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Debonair in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were larger and more mounded than plants of the cultivar Debonair.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered more uniformly than plants of the cultivar Debonair.
    • 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had smaller inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Debonair.
    • 4. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the cultivar Debonair differed in ray floret coloration.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum. These photographs show 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 Chrysanthemum.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Yojacqueline’.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Yojacqueline’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Pendleton, S.C. during the summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial garden Chrysanthemum production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 32° C. and night temperatures averaged 21° C. Plants were grown in 15-containers and exposed to long day/short night conditions for about three weeks, then exposed to natural season photoinductive conditions. Plants used in the photographs and for the description were about three months old. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
