ABSTRACT:

Latin name of the genus and species: The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant is hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Gedi Two Cam.’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of hybridization of a female parent, cultivar ‘Preco’ (undistributed in the United States), and a male parent, ‘Red Urano’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/550,156, now abandoned). This cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor 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 cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Gedi Two Cam’ 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 Two Cam.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi Two Cam’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
1. Decorative-type inflorescence,
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 42 days of short day length,
3. Free branching habit,
4. Red ray florets,
5. Very uniform round growth habit, and
6. Large quantity of blooms per flowering branch.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the parent cultivar, ‘Preco’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of the cultivar ‘Preco’ primarily in ray floret color. The new cultivar ‘Gedi Two Cam’ induces and develops blooms earlier than the male parent cultivar ‘Red Urano’ and has fewer ray florets per inflorescence than the male parent. The new cultivar also has an inflorescence which remains decorative.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘Jenny Wren’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,213), ‘Gedi Two Cam’ naturally blooms one week earlier and has fewer ray florets. The new cultivar has a deep red inflorescence and more blooms per flowering branch than ‘Jenny Wren.’
