Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant named ‘Allhygela’, characterized by its upright plant habit; vigorous growth habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit and high fruit density; large glossy pale yellow and light yellowish green-colored fruits; and suitability as a cut flower plant.
Description
Botanical designation: Hypericum androseamum L.
Cultivar denomination: ‘ALLHYGELA’.
An European Community Plant Breeder's Rights application for the instant plant was filed by the Assignee, Allplants Holding B.V. of Cuijk, The Netherlands on Sep. 1, 2021, application number 2021/2185. Foreign priority is not claimed to this application.
The Inventor/Applicant and Assignee assert that no publications nor advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor/Applicant and/or the Assignee. Inventor/Applicant and Assignee claim a prior art exemption under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) for disclosure and/or sales prior to the filing date but less than one year prior to the effective filing date.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hypericum plant, botanically known as Hypericum androseamum L., typically grown as cut flower and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Allhygela’.
The new Hypericum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Cuijk, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Hypericum plants with numerous attractive fruits.
The new Hypericum plant originated from an open-pollination in September, 2012 in Cuijk, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Hypericum androseamum L. identified as code number 2-2013-59-4, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with an unknown selection of Hypericum androseamum L. as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Hypericum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Cuijk, The Netherlands in October, 2013.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hypericum plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Cuijk, The Netherlands since October, 2013 has shown that the unique features of this new Hypericum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Hypericum have not been observed under all possible combinations of 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 ‘Allhygela’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Allhygela’ as a new and distinct Hypericum plant:
-
- 1. Upright plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Freely flowering habit and high fruit density.
- 5. Large glossy pale yellow and light yellowish green-colored fruits.
- 6. Suitable as a cut flower plant.
Plants of the new Hypericum differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in fruit color as plants of the new Hypericum have pale yellow and light yellowish green-colored fruits whereas fruits of plants of the female parent selection are light salmon pink in color.
Plants of the new Hypericum can be compared to plants of the Hypericum hybrida ‘Allhy1236’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,134. In side-by-side comparisons plants of the new Hypericum differ primarily from plants of ‘Allhy1236’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hypericum and ‘Allhy1236’ differ in fruit color as plants of the new Hypericum have pale yellow and light yellowish green-colored fruits whereas fruits of plants of ‘Allhy1236’ are white in color.
- 2. Fruits of plants of the new Hypericum are larger and more rounded in shape than fruits of plants of ‘Allhy1236’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hypericum 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 actual colors of the new Hypericum plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 ) is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Allhygela’ when fruiting grown in a container.
The photograph at the left of the second sheet (FIG. 2 ) is a close-up view of a typical fruiting stein of ‘Allhygela’.
The photograph at the center of the second sheet (FIG. 3 ) is a close-up view of a typical stein and leaves of ‘Allhygela’.
The photograph at the right of the second sheet (FIG. 4 ) is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Allhygela’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown in July in containers and ground beds in an outdoor nursery in Timau, Kenya and under cultural practices typical of commercial Hypericum production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 23° C. to 28° C. and night temperatures ranged from 7° C. to 12° C. Plants were one year old when the photographs and description were taken.
