Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum plant. The new plant is characterized by its flat capitulum form, anemone capitulum type, lavender ray floret color, darker contrasting disc floret color, a diameter across face of capitulum of 3.5-6.0 cm, spreading to upright branching pattern with 4-7 breaks after a single pinch, a flowering response of 56 to 60 days from the start of short days, and a plant height for 6.5 in. (16.5 cm) pot of about 40 cm with 1-2 applications of B-9 at 2500 ppm.
Description
1. The Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Chrysanthemum plants. More particularly, the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name "Dark eyes."
2. Background of the New Plant
Dark Eyes, identified as 86.2469, was originated from a cross made by Jack Van Der Knaap in a controlled breeding program at De Lier, Holland in 1985.
The female parent of Dark Eyes was an unnamed seedling, and the male parent was Wall Street (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,869).
Dark Eyes was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Jack Van Der Knaap in 1986 in a controlled environment at De Lier, Holland.
The first asexual reproduction of Dark Eyes was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken in 1986 in a controlled environment at De Lier, Holland by technicians working under the direction and supervision of Jack Van Der Knaap.
The basic characteristics which have been repeatedly observed in Dark Eyes and which, in combination, distinguish this Chrysanthemum plant over related known varieties and its antecedents are:
1. Flat capitulum form.
2. Anemone capitulum type.
3. Lavender ray floret color.
4. Darker contrasting disc floret color.
5. Diameter across face of capitulum 3.5-6.0 cm.
6. Branching pattern is spreading to upright with 4-7 breaks after a single pinch.
7. Flowering response is 56 to 60 days from the start of short days.
8. Plant height of 6.5 in. (16.5 cm) pot is about 40 cm with 1-2 applications of B-9 at 2500 ppm.
Horticultural examination of controlled flowerings of successive plantings has shown that the combination of characteristics and distinctions as herein disclosed for Dark Eyes are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
FIG. 1 is a photographic print in full color showing typical inflorescence and leaf characteristics of Dark Eyes grown as a pinched spray pot mum with 5 cuttings in a 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) pot, the colors being depicted as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color photograph of this character.
Dark Eyes has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length.
The following is a detailed description of Dark Eyes, with color terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticulture Society Colour Chart, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are obvious. The following observations, measurements and comparisons were made of plants grown at Nipomo, Calif. in controlled environments. Unrooted cuttings were directly stuck into 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) pots and grown in a controlled environment under the natural temperature and day length prevailing during October to December of 1990.
Classification:
Botanical.--Dendranthema grandiflora cv. Dark Eyes.
Commercial.--Flat anemone to be grown as a spray pot or cut spray mum.
A. Capitulum:
Form.--Flat.
Type.--Anemone.
Diameter across face: 35-60 mm when fully opened.
B. Corolla of ray florets:
Color (general tonality from a distance of three meters).--Lavender with dark purple eye.
Color.--Front: 75 C. Back 75 C with a 77 B stripe down the center.
Shape.--Oblong with a rounded tip.
C. Corolla of disc florets:
Color.--Medium lavender 75 C. Graduating to a very dark eye of 77 A.
D. Reproductive organs:
Androecium.--Present on disc florets only; insignificant.
Gynoecium.--Present on both ray and disc florets; insignificant.
A. General appearance:
Height.--When grown in 6.5 in. (16.5 cm) pots with 1-2 applications of B-9, the total plant height including the pot will be approximately 40 cm. When grown as a cut mum, the plant will be 1-1.5 meters high.
Branching pattern.--Spreading with 4-7 breaks after the pinch. As a cut flower the plant is normally grown unpinched, single stem with the top bud removed to form an open spray type form.
B. Foliage:
Color (upper surface): 147 A.
Color (lower surface): 147 B.
Shape.--see FIG. 1.
Dark Eyes can be well distinguished from other commercial Chrysanthemum cultivars, including Autumn Eyes (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 712,334 filed Jun. 7, 1991), Definite Eyes (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 712,086 filed Jun. 7, 1991), Quiet Eyes (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 712,052 filed Jun. 7, 1991), Tara (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,313), and Vibrant Eyes (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 712,901 filed Jun. 7, 1991). See in this regard the data presented in Table A hereafter. Also, the blossom coloration of Dark Eyes can be readily distinguished from Rave (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,738), and Remember (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,973) as described and illustrated in the respective U.S. Plant Patents.
Similar traits to the other above-mentioned Eye varieties are capitulum form and type (with the exception of Quiet Eyes which is a flat daisy type), branching pattern, and the distinctly contrasting center of the disc. However, each Eye variety varies in color of the disc and ray florets, making each a unique and different cultivar.
Similar traits to Tara are capitulum form and type, and branching pattern. Dark Eyes generally has more breaks per pinch, more disc florets, and is approximately 4 days slower than Tara. Tara tends to have more flowers per break than Dark Eyes. The coloration of the petals is very different between Tara and Dark Eyes.
