ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Bracteantha bracteata
cultivar Redbramag.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Bracteantha
plant, botanically known as
Bracteantha bracteata
and referred to by the name ‘Redbramag’.
The new
Bracteantha
is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Redland Bay, Queensland, Australia. The objective of the program is to create and develop
Bracteantha
cultivars with a compact growth habit, numerous inflorescences with attractive involucral bract coloration and long-lasting inflorescences.
The new
Bracteantha
originated from a cross-pollination by the Inventor in January, 1999, of the
Bracteantha bracteata
cultivar Redbrapin, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,966, as the female, or seed, parent with an unidentified selection of
Bracteantha bracteata,
not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new
Bracteantha
was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Redland Bay, Queensland, Australia in September, 2000. The selection of the new
Bracteantha
was based on its red purple-colored involucral bracts and compact growth habit.
Asexual reproduction of the new
Bracteantha
by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Redland Bay, Queensland, Australia since May, 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new
Bracteantha
are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new
Bracteantha
has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Redbramag’ and distinguish the new
Bracteantha
as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact and bushy growth habit.
2. Upright, outwardly spreading and rounded plant form.
3. Freely-flowering habit.
4. Red purple-colored involucral bracts and yellow orange-colored disc florets.
5. Short and strong peduncles that hold inflorescences above the foliage.
Plants of the new
Bracteantha
can be compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Redbrapin. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Redland Bay, Queensland, Australia, plants of the new
Bracteantha
differed from plants of the cultivar Redbrapin in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Bracteantha
had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Redbrapin.
2. Plants of the new
Bracteantha
had circular inflorescences whereas plants of the cultivar Redbrapin had star-shaped inflorescences.
3. Plants of the new
Bracteantha
had more involucral bracts per inflorescence than plants of the cultivar Redbrapin.
4. Plants of the new
Bracteantha
had red purple-colored involucral bracts whereas plants of the cultivar Redbrapin had pink-colored involucral bracts.
Plants of the new
Bracteantha
can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Colourburst Pink, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Redland Bay, Queensland, Australia, plants of the new
Bracteantha
differed from plants of the cultivar Colourburst Pink in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Bracteantha
had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Colourburst Pink.
2. Plants of the new
Bracteantha
had red purple-colored involucral bracts whereas plants of the cultivar Colourburst Pink had pale pink-colored involucral bracts.
