Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Brachyscome plant named ‘Bonbra7053’, characterized by its mounding plant habit; freely branching habit, bushy plant form and moderately vigorous growth habit; numerous inflorescences positioned above the foliar plane; large inflorescences with purple violet-colored ray florets; and good postproduction longevity and garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Brachyscome×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘BONBRA7053’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Brachyscome plant, botanically known as Brachyscome×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bonbra7053’.
The new Brachyscome plant is a product of a controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia. The objective of the breeding program is to create new mounding Brachyscome plants with unique and attractive ray floret color.
The new Brachyscome plant originated from a cross-pollination in October, 2003 in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia, of a proprietary selection of Brachyscome×hybrida identified as code number 00-76, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unidentified proprietary selection of Brachyscome×hybrida, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Brachyscome plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia on Dec. 14, 2004.
Asexual reproduction of the new Brachyscome plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia since December, 2004 has shown that the unique features of this new Brachyscome plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Brachyscome have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Bonbra7053’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bonbra7053’ as a new and distinct Brachyscome plant:
    • 1. Mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit, bushy plant form and moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Numerous inflorescences positioned above the foliar plane.
    • 4. Large inflorescences with purple violet-colored ray florets.
    • 5. Good postproduction longevity and garden performance.
Plants of the new Brachyscome differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in ray floret color as plants of the female parent selection have pink-colored ray florets and plants of the male parent selection have mauve to pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Brachyscome can also be compared to plants of the Brachyscome angustifolia ‘Billabong Mauve Delight’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,889. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Yellow Rock, New South Wales, Australia, plants of the new Brachyscome differed primarily from plants of ‘Billabong Mauve Delight’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Brachyscome were larger and more mounding than plants of ‘Billabong Mauve Delight’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Brachyscome had longer lateral branches and internodes than plants of ‘Billabong Mauve Delight’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Brachyscome had larger leaves and flowers than plants of ‘Billabong Mauve Delight’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Brachyscome and ‘Billabong Mauve Delight’ differed slightly in ray floret color.
    • 5. Plants of the new Brachyscome had longer peduncles than plants of ‘Billabong Mauve Delight’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Brachyscome 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 Brachyscome plant.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bonbra7053’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Bonbra7053’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the late spring in 15-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and under commercial cultural practices.

Plants were five and four months old when the photographs and description, respectively, were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
