Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Gypsophila plant named ‘Esm Genesis’, characterized by its erect, straight and moderately strong flowering stems; early, uniform and freely flowering habit; small luminous white-colored flowers with numerous petals; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Gypsophila hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Esm Genesis’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gypsophila plant, botanically known as Gypsophila hybrida, grown commercially as a cut flower, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Esm Genesis’.
The new Gypsophila plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely and uniformly flowering Gypsophila cultivars with many petals per flower and straight stems.
The new Gypsophila plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador in August, 2002 of a proprietary selection of Gypsophila hybrida identified as Line 33, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Gypsophila hybrida identified as Line 19, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Gypsophila was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador in April, 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Gypsophila plant by cuttings in a controlled environment in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador since June, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Gypsophila plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Gypsophila 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 ‘Esm Genesis’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Esm Genesis’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Gypsophila:
-
- 1. Erect, straight and moderately strong flowering stems.
- 2. Early, uniform and freely flowering habit.
- 3. Small luminous white-colored flowers with numerous petals.
- 4. Good postproduction longevity.
- In side-by-side comparisons conducted in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador, plants of the new Gypsophila differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
- 1. Plants of the new Gypsophila had more erect flowering stems than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Flowers of plants of the new Gypsophila were more luminous white than flowers of plants of the female parent selection.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador, plants of the new Gypsophila differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Gypsophila were taller than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Gypsophila were more freely flowering than plants of the male parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Gypsophila had more erect peduncles than plants of the male parent selection.
- 4. Flowers of plants of the new Gypsophila had more petals than flowers of plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Gypsophila can also be compared to plants of the Gypsophila ‘Dangypmini’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,964. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador, plants of the new Gypsophila differed from plants of ‘Dangypmini’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Gypsophila were more narrow than plants of ‘Dangypmini’.
- 2. Flowering stems of plants of the new Gypsophila were more erect than flowering stems of plants of ‘Dangypmini’.
- 3. Plants of the new Gypsophila had longer internodes than plants of ‘Dangypmini’.
- 4. Plants of the new Gypsophila had shorter leaves than plants of ‘Dangypmini’.
- 5. Plants of the new Gypsophila had fewer flowers than plants of ‘Dangypmini’.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Gypsophila plant. This photograph shows the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Gypsophila plant. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering stem of ‘Esm Genesis’ (upper left); close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Esm Genesis’ (lower left); close-up views of typical flowers of ‘Esm Genesis’ (upper right and center right); and close-up view of typical leaves of ‘Esm Genesis’ (lower right).
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador in ground beds in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial cut Gypsophila production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 11° C. to 28° C. and night temperatures ranged from 5° C. to 11° C. Plants were pinched one time about five weeks after planting and were grown under long day/short day conditions. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical 17-week old flowering plants. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Fourth Edition, 2001, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
