Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Brachycome plant named ‘Magenta Magic’, characterized by its compact, low spreading and mounding plant habit; freely branching growth habit; dark green-colored stems and leaves; freely flowering habit; large inflorescences positioned above the foliar plane; bright purple-colored ray florets; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Brachycome angustifolia.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MAGENTA MAGIC’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Brachycome plant, botanically known as Brachycome angustifolia and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Magenta Magic’.
The new Brachycome plant is a product of a controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Brachycome plants with large inflorescences and strong foliage.
The new Brachycome plant originated from a cross-pollination in Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia, of a proprietary selection of Brachycome angustifolia identified as code name OBAP176, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Brachycome angustifolia identified as code name OB04547, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Brachycome plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor in July, 2006 as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Asexual reproduction of the new Brachycome plant by stem cuttings in a controlled environment in Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia since September, 2006, has shown that the unique features of this new Brachycome plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Brachycome have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. 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 ‘Magenta Magic’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Magenta Magic’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Brachycome plant:
-
- 1. Compact, low spreading and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching growth habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored stems and leaves.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Large inflorescences positioned above the foliage.
- 6. Bright purple-colored ray florets.
- 7. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Brachycome differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Brachycome are not as vigorous as plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Brachycome are more mounding than and not as upright as plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Brachycome and the female parent selection differ in ray floret color as plants of the female parent selection have bright pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Brachycome differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Brachycome are more vigorous than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Brachycome are taller than plants of the male parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Brachycome have larger inflorescences than plants of the male parent selection.
- 4. Plants of the new Brachycome and the male parent selection differ in ray floret color as plants of the male parent selection have darker purple-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Brachycome can also be compared to plants of the Brachycome angustifolia ‘Billabong Mardi Gras’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia, plants of the new Brachycome differed from plants of ‘Billabong Mardi Gras’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Brachycome were taller and more mounding than plants of ‘Billabong Mardi Gras’.
- 2. Plants of the new Brachycome were more vigorous than plants of ‘Billabong Mardi Gras’.
- 3. Plants of the new Brachycome were more freely flowering than plants of ‘Billabong Mardi Gras’.
- 4. Plants of the new Brachycome had larger and taller inflorescences than plants of ‘Billabong Mardi Gras’.
- 5. Ray florets of plants of the new Brachycome were darker purple in color than ray florets of plants of ‘Billabong Mardi Gras’.
- 6. Plants of the new Brachycome had longer peduncles than plants of ‘Billabong Mardi Gras’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Brachycome plant, 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 Brachycome plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Magenta Magic’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Magenta Magic’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the spring and summer in 15-cm containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia and under commercial practice with day temperatures ranging from 12° C. to 40° C., night temperatures ranging from 6° C. to 28° C. and light levels ranging from 1,000 lux to 9,000 lux. Plants were pinched twice and were six months old when the photographs and description were taken. 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.
