ABSTRACT:

LATIN NAME
Dendranthema morifolium.
VARIETY
‘GEDI ONE TAR’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Dendranthema morifolium
and herein after referred to by the cultivar name ‘GEDI ONE TAR’.
This new cultivar was the result of hybridization of a female parent, ‘Dark Veria’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,215) with a male parent plant of an unpatented Chrysanthemum variety. The new cultivar was selected in October 1997.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by apical tip cutting and meristem tissue culture was performed in Oxnard, Calif. and has shown that the unique features of this new cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘GEDI ONE TAR’ 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 following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘GEDI ONE TAR’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘GEDI ONE TAR’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Decorative type inflorescence;
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 49 days of short day length;
3. Free branching habit;
4. Light yellow ray florets;
5. Very uniform round growth habit; and
6. Large quantity of blooms per flowering branch.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are similar to plants of the parent cultivars in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent cultivar ‘Dark Veria’ in the following characterictics:
1. The new cultivar has more blooms per flowering branch;
2. The new cultivar naturally blooms 2 weeks earlier;
3. The new cultivar has lighter yellow ray florets; and
4. The new cultivar has a more free branching, round plant habit.
The new cultivar also differed from the male parent in flower type.
The new cultivar can be compared to the Chrysanthemum cultivar ‘Citrine’ (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,094). However plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from the plants of the cultivar ‘Citrine’ in the following characteristics:
1. The new cultivar has a decorative type flower form;
2. The new cultivar has more ray florets;
3. The new cultivar has a more round plant shape and greater branching; and
4. The new cultivar has more blooms per flowering branch.
