Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Streptocarpus × hybridus known by the varietal name of Susi. The new cultivar was developed in a breeding program and is a cross of the varieties Rubina 31 (pollen parent) and Rot 41 (seed parent). The new cultivar is distinguished from its parentage by its persistent flower color, early blooming, short leaves, bright yellow throat and abundant blooming.
The new cultivar is generally characterized by a compact bouquet of bloom on top of the plant. The new cultivar exhibits vigorous plant growth and is a prolific bloomer. In addition, the new cultivar exhibits a more vivid red color as compared to other red varieties.
The new cultivar was discovered in 1979 in Hedingen, Switzerland; was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Hedingen, Switzerland; and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Floral Company in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive charcteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., has a response time of eight 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 fifteen centimeter pot.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
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 using natural 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.
