Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant named ‘Kirine-34’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded growth habit; freely branching and flowering plant habit; large bright yellow-colored flowers; relatively tolerant to high temperatures; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Nemesia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘KIRINE-34’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia, botanically known as Nemesia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Kirine-34’.
The new Nemesia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Tochigi, Japan, The objective of the breeding program is to create new Nemesia cultivars with good vigor and attractive flower coloration.
The new Nemesia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in February, 2005 in Tochigi, Japan of the Nemesia hybrida cultivar Aromatica Compact White, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Nemesia strumosa cultivar Sundrop Yellow, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Nemesia 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 Tochigi, Japan in October, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Nemesia by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Tochigi, Japan since November, 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Nemesia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Kirine-34 has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘Kirine-34’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kirine-34’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia:
    • 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded growth habit.
    • 2. Freely branching and flowering plant habit.
    • 3. Large bright yellow-colored flowers.
    • 4. Relatively tolerant to high temperatures.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Nemesia differ from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Aromatica Compact White, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Nemesia are larger than plants of the cultivar Aromatica Compact White.
    • 2. Plants of the new Nemesia have larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Aromatica Compact White.
    • 3. Plants of the new Nemesia and the cultivar Aromatica Compact White differ in flower color as plants of the cultivar Aromatic Compact White have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Nemesia differ from plants of the male parent, the cultivar Sundrop Yellow, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Nemesia are larger than plants of the cultivar Sundrop Yellow.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Nemesia are fragrant whereas flowers of plants of the cultivar Sundrop Yellow are not fragrant.
    • 3. Plants of the new Nemesia are more tolerant to high temperatures than plants of the cultivar Sundrop Yellow.
Plants of the new Nemesia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Kirine-1, disclosed to U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,267. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Tochigi, Japan, plants of the new Nemesia differed from plants of the cultivar Kirine-1 in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Nemesia were more mounding than plants of the cultivar Kirine-1.
    • 2. Plants of the new Nemesia had shorter internodes than plants of the cultivar Kirine-1.
    • 3. Plants of the new Nemesia and the cultivar Kirine-1 differed in flower color as plants of the cultivar Kirine-1 had lighter yellow-colored flowers.
    • 4. Plants of the new Nemesia were more high temperature tolerant than plants of the cultivar Kirine-1.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Nemesia, 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 Nemesia.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Kirine-34’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Kirine-34’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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. Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Santa Paula, Calif. for about 13 weeks in containers. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 26° C., night temperatures averaged 12° C. and light levels ranged from 4,000 to 5,000 foot-candles. Plants were pinched one time about two weeks after planting.
