Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Veritas Yellow’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and rounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit; large dark green-colored leaves; uniform and freely flowering habit; decorative-type inflorescences with dark yellow-colored ray florets; and excellent garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘VERITAS YELLOW’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Veritas Yellow’.
The new Chrysanthemum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely flowering Chrysanthemum plants with unique and attractive ray floret coloration.
The new Chrysanthemum plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium in September, 2005 of Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Cortona’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Farini’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,807, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Chrysanthemum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium in September, 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum plant by vegetative cuttings was first conducted in a controlled greenhouse environment in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium in January, 2007. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Veritas Yellow’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Veritas Yellow’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant:
    • 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and rounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit.
    • 3. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Decorative-type inflorescences with dark yellow-colored ray florets.
    • 5. Excellent garden performance.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ primarily from the female parent, ‘Cortona’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more vigorous than and not as compact as plants of ‘Cortona’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have lighter green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Cortona’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower later than plants of ‘Cortona’.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ primarily from the male parent, ‘Farini’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more vigorous than and not as compact as plants of ‘Farini’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had lighter green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Farini’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower earlier than plants of ‘Farini’.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can also be compared to plants of Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘PPP MIL YL05’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,106. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of ‘PPP MIL YL05’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were more flexible than and not as brittle as plants of ‘PPP MIL YL05’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had larger leaves than plants of ‘PPP MIL YL05’.
    • 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum were darker yellow in color than ray florets of plants of ‘PPP MIL YL05’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum plant showing 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 Chrysanthemum plant. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Veritas Yellow’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 19-cm containers during the autumn in an outdoor nursery in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium and under cultural practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Chrysanthemum production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 25° C. to 30° C. and night temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 20° C. Plants were 20 weeks old when the photograph and detailed description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2005 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
