Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Regal Volare, characterized by its flat capitulum form; medium to large daisy-type inflorescences; attractive dark pink ray florets and yellow disc florets; numerous inflorescences per plant; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora and referred to by the cultivar name Regal Volare.
The new cultivar is a product of a mutation induction breeding program conducted by the inventor in Salinas, Calif. The objective of the mutation induction breeding program is to create new Chrysanthemum cultivars having desirable inflorescence and foliage colors and inflorescences and foliage with good form and substance.
The new cultivar originated by exposing 75 unrooted cuttings of the Chrysanthemum selection Dark Volare (not patented) to an X-ray radiation level of 2,000 rads. Following the radiation treatment, the cuttings were rooted and terminal apices were removed (pinched) three times to promote lateral branch development. After lateral branches from the third pinch reached sufficient size, 255 terminal cuttings were harvested, planted and flowered in Salinas, Calif. The cultivar Regal Volare was discovered and selected by the inventor as a single flowering plant within this population. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence color and form and good inflorescence and foliage substance.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Salinas, Calif. has shown tha the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of Regal Volare. These characteristics in combination distinguish Regal Volare as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Flat capitulum form.
2. Medium to large daisy-type inflorescences.
3. Attractive dark pink ray florets and yellow disc florets.
4. Numerous infloresences per plant.
5. Good postproduction longevity with inflorescences maintaining good substance and color for more than three weeks in an interior environment.
The cultivar Regal Volare has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The new Chrysanthemum is similar in plant havit to the mutation parent cultivar Dark Volare. However in side-by-side comparison in Salinas, Calif. under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum have ray florets that are dark pink in color whereas ray florets of plants of Dark Volare are medium pink in color.
Plants of the cultivar Regal Volare are also similar to the cultivar Volare (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,058). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Salinas, Calif. under commercial practice, ray floret color on plants of the cultivar Regal Volare is dark pink (R.H.S. 70B) compared to the light pink (75D) ray floret color of the cultivar Volare. Additionally in these evaluations, the new Chrysanthemum differed from the cultivar Volare in the following characteristics.
1. Plants of the cultivar Regal Volare were approximately 5 cm shorter than plants of the cultivar Volare.
2. Plants of the cultivar Regal Volare flowered 2 to 3 days later than plants of the cultivar Volare.
3. Inflorescences of plants of the cultivar Regal Volare were smaller in diameter than inflorescences of the cultivar Volare.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bogota, Colombia, under commercial practice, the new Chrysanthemum differed form the cultivar Volare in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the cultivar Regal Volare were 5 to 7.5 cm shorter than plants of the cultivar Volare.
2. Plants of the cultivar Regal Volare flowered 2 to 5 days later than plants of the cultivar Volare.
3. No difference in inflorescence size between the two cultivars was observed.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The first photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering stem of Regal Volare grown as a single stem spray cut Chrysanthemum.
The second photograph comprises a top perspective view of the upper surface of leaves of the cultivar Regal Volare at six different stages of development showing the differences in size and lobation development.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Salinas Calif., under commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse with night temperatures ranging from 15 to 17 C., day temperatures up to 24 C., and light levels of 2,500 to 3,000 footcandles. After planting rooted cuttings of the new cultivar, plants received 11 long day/short nights following by short day/long nights until flowering. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for six typical flowering stems.
