CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is related to U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,459 and the previously filed applications entitled Antirrhinum Plants Named ‘Yablu’ (Ser. No. 09/520,231), ‘Yapeep’ (Ser. No. 09/520,230), ‘Yaprim’ (Ser. No. 09/520,227), ‘Yarob’ (Ser. No. 09/520,228), and ‘Yalil’ (Ser. No. 09/520,229), now abondoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Snapdragon, known botanically as an Antirrhinum of hybrid origin and referred to hereinafter by the cultivar name ‘Yahit’.
The new plant was selected by the inventor from his breeding program in a cultivated area of Congleton, Chesire, England. The objective of the program is to produce new cultivars of Snapdragons that have a trailing growth habit with a range of flower color and an outward presentation of the flowers. Seedlings were first crossed in the summer of 1998 by the inventor in Congleton, Chesire, England. The parents are unintroduced Antirrhinums of hybrid origin from the inventors breeding program. ‘Yahit’ originated from a seed bed containing open pollinated hybrids of
Antirrhinum gluutinosum×majus
(not patented) and
Antirrhinum braun
-
blanquettii
(not patented). The exact parents are unknown. The final seedling selection of ‘Yahit’ was made in May 1999 by the inventor.
‘Yahit’ is distinguished by shorter internodes, a more compact form, more shapely trailing habit, more abundant flowers with a stronger intense flower color and a greater amount of yellow than any other trailing type Antirrhinum. The closest comparative cultivars to ‘Yahit’, are ‘Yacan’(not patented), ‘Yaprim’, ‘Layel’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,985 and ‘Yablu’. ‘Yahit’ differs from ‘Yacan’ in its shorter internodes, more shapely and compact habit, increased number of flowers and more intense yellow flower color. ‘Yahit’ differs from ‘Yaprim’ in its solid intense yellow flower color and absence of primrose-colored veining. ‘Yahit’ differs from ‘Yablu’ and ‘Layel’ in its uniform, intense yellow flower color and flowers that face consistently outward.
‘Yahit’ is distinguished by larger flowers than
Antitirrhinum gluutinosum×majus
that are a brighter yellow. ‘Yahit’ flowers are a brighter yellow than the flowers of
Antirrhinum braun
-
blanquettii.
The first asexual propagation, using cuttings, was conducted in June 1999 by the inventor in Congleton, Chesire England. Three successions of cuttings were taken and varietal stability was insured. The characteristics of this cultivar have been determined stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish the new cultivar from all other varieties. ‘Yahit’ exhibits a compact and shapely habit, exhibiting shorter internodes and an increased abundance of flowers with an outward presentation and a more intense yellow coloring than any other trailing type Antirrhinum known to the inventor.
