ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Calibrachoa
sp. cultivar Wescacherryno.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Calibrachoa
plant, botanically known as
Calibrachoa
sp., and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Wescacherryno’.
The new
Calibrachoa
is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Südlohn, Germany. The new
Calibrachoa
originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor of a proprietary selection of
Calibrachoa
identified as code number 01P206, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of
Calibrachoa
identified as code number 01P136, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new
Calibrachoa
was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Südlohn, Germany as a single plant within the resulting progeny from the above-mentioned cross-pollination in 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings at Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany since 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new
Calibrachoa
are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Wescacherryno have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Wescacherryno’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Wescacherryno’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Cascading and uniform growth habit.
2. Freely branching habit and relatively short internodes, dense and bushy plant habit.
3. Medium-sized flowers.
4. Numerous red-colored flowers.
Plants of the cultivar Wescacherryno can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Südlohn, Germany, plants of the new
Calibrachoa
differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
had smaller flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
2. Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
and the female parent selection differed in flower color as plants of the female parent selection had lighter red-colored flowers.
Plants of the cultivar Wescacherryno can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Südlohn, Germany, plants of the new
Calibrachoa
differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
had thinner stems than plants of the male parent selection.
2. Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
had smaller leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
3. Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
had larger flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
can also be compared to plants of the
Calibrachoa
cultivar Wescacherry, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,753. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Südlohn, Germany, plants of the new
Calibrachoa
differed from plants of the cultivar Wescacherry in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
had a more cascading plant habit than plants of the cultivar Wescacherry.
2. Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
had thinner branches than plants of the cultivar Wescacherry.
3. Plants of the new
Calibrachoa
had smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Wescacherry.
4. Flower color of plants of the new
Calibrachoa
was more intense than flower color of plants of the cultivar Wescacherry.
