Abstract
A new variety of Streptocarpus plant is characterized by its beet purple flower having a yellow throat. It has large flowers, long permanence and is generally nonfertile.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Streptocarpus × hybridus known by the varietal name of Freda, formerly named Gloria Rot. The new cultivar is an irradiated sport of a Streptocarpus known by the varietal name of Gloria Rosa. The new cultivar is distinguished from Gloria Rosa by the difference in color and a shorter response time by one week. In addition, the flowers of Freda are larger than the flowers of Gloria Rosa.
The new cultivar was discovered in 1977 in Vaihingen, Federal Republic of Germany; was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Vaihingen, Federal Republic of Germany; and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Floral Company in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., has a response time of nine weeks. This response time is measured from a plantlet which is a well rooted young plant in a five centimeter pot to a flowering plant in a ten centimeter pot.
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out by the Oglevee Floral Company in Connellsville, Pa. The plant history was taken on eight week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken indoors under 100 foot candles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. color chart of the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Some color reference is to Exotica III and such reference is duly noted.
Botanical classification: Gesneriaceae (Family); Streptocarpus × hybridus (Genus × species).
