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 Ylpap’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of a naturally occurring mutation on a single branch of the variety ‘Papiro’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,998). The new cultivar was discovered in cultivation and selected by the inventor in October 1998.
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 Ylpap’ 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 Ylpap’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi Two Ylpap’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
1. Daisy-type inflorescence,
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 46 days of short day length,
3. Free branching habit,
4. Yellow 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, ‘Papiro’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of the cultivar ‘Papiro’ primarily in ray floret color.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘Gedi YT8’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,725), ‘Gedi Two Ylpap’ has longer lateral branches, a lighter yellow ray floret color, and more blooms per flowering branch. In addition, no pollen has been detected in observations of the new cultivar.
