Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Pericallis plant named ‘Ochkeipu’, characterized by its upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; freely flowering habit; and daisy-type inflorescences with purple-colored ray and disc florets.

Description

Botanical designation: Pericallis cruenta.
Cultivar denomination: ‘OCHKEIPU’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Pericallis plant, botanically known as Pericallis cruenta and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Ochkeipu’.
The new Pericallis plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Gose City, Nara, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Pericallis plants with attractive purple-colored flowers.
The new Pericallis plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in July, 2006 in Gose City, Nara, Japan of a proprietary selection of Pericallis cruenta identified as code number FNP8-005, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Pericallis cruenta identified as code number FC5-002, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Pericallis 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 greenhouse environment in Gose City, Nara, Japan in June, 2010.
Asexual reproduction of the new Pericallis plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Gose City, Nara, Japan since June, 2010 has shown that the unique features of this new Pericallis plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Pericallis have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘Ochkeipu’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ochkeipu’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Pericallis plant:
    • 1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching growth habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Daisy-type inflorescences with purple-colored ray and disc florets.
Plants of the new Pericallis differ from plants of the female parent selection primarily in plant habit as plants of the new Pericallis are more compact than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Pericallis differ from plants of the male parent selection primarily in ray floret color as plants of the male parent selection have blue-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Pericallis can be compared to plants of Senecio cruentus×Pericallis heritieri ‘Sunsenere’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,162. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gose City, Nara, Japan, plants of the new Pericallis differed from plants of ‘Sunsenere’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Pericallis were more compact than plants of ‘Sunsenere’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Pericallis had smaller leaves than plants of ‘Sunsenere’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Pericallis had smaller inflorescences than plants of ‘Sunsenere’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Pericallis and ‘Sunsenere’ differed slightly in ray floret color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Pericallis 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 Pericallis plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Ochkeipu’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 12-cm containers during the summer in a glass-covered greenhouse in Rheinberg, Germany and under environmental conditions and cultural practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Pericallis production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 18° C. and light levels averaged 4,500 lux. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were pinched one time and were 20 weeks old when the photograph and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Fourth Edition, 1995, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
