Abstract
A new and distinct Chamelaucium cultivar named ‘MARS’ is disclosed, characterized by unique flower size and color, bud size, large quantity of buds and flowers, branch structure and date of blooming. The new variety is a Chamelaucium, normally producing cut flower stems, or as a garden or container plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Chamelaucium uncinatum.
Variety denomination: ‘MARS’.
The new Chamelaucium cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Nitzan Nir, in Kfar Hess, Israel. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Chamelaucium varieties for ornamental commercial applications. The new variety is a product of crossbreeding that occurred during 2010 at a commercial nursery in Kfar Hess, Israel.
The seed parent is the unpatented, proprietary seedling variety Chamelaucium ‘2W140M003’. The pollen parent is the unpatented, variety Chamelaucium ‘Early Violet’. The new variety was discovered in March of 2011 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the 2010 crossing, in a commercial nursery in Kfar Hess, Israel.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar has been performed by vegetative cuttings. This was first performed at a commercial nursery in Kfar Hess, Israel in May of 2011 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in five successive generations.
The cultivar ‘MARS’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘MARS’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MARS’ as a new and distinct Chamelaucium cultivar:
-
- 1. Bright pink flower color
- 2. Large quantity of buds and flowers
Plants of the new cultivar ‘MARS’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Chamelaucium ‘2W140M003’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘MARS’ produce a different flower size and bloom at a different time than the seed parent.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘MARS’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent; Chamelaucium ‘Early Violet’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘MARS’ produce a different bud size, more buds and flowers, different branch structure and different date of bloom than the pollen parent.
‘MARS’ can be compared to the Unpatented commercial variety Chamelaucium ‘M.B. Violet’, Plants of ‘MARS’ are similar to plants of ‘M.B. Violet’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of ‘MARS’ produce a different bud size, more buds and flowers and different branch structure than the comparator.
‘MARS’ can be compared to the commercial variety Chamelaucium ‘Umbrella’ U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/986,493. Plants of ‘MARS’ are similar to plants of ‘Umbrella’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of ‘MARS’ produce a different flower color, date of blooming and branch structure than the comparator.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a close up of typical flowers and foliage of ‘MARS’ at approximately 1 year of age. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘MARS’ plants grown outdoors in Kfar Hess, Israel. The growing temperature ranged from 15° C. to 35° C. during the day and from −2° C. to 35° C. during the night. General light conditions are bright, normal sunlight. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types. Chemical treatments included general fungicides and insecticides.
