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 Pin.’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of hybridization of a female parent variety, ‘Papiro’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,998) and a male parent variety ‘Tartino Yellow’ (undistributed in the United States). The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in September 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 Pin’ 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 Pin.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi Two Pin’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
1. Spoon-tip daisy-type inflorescence,
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 49 days of short day length,
3. Free branching habit,
4. White 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 female parent variety, ‘Papiro’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar have ray florets of a different shape and more inflorescences per flowering branch. Plants of the new cultivar also have fewer ray florets per inflorescence than plants of the female parent variety.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the male parent variety, ‘Tartino Yellow,’ however the new cultivar has ray florets of a different color than plants of the male parent variety. Plants of the new cultivar are also taller than plants of the male parent variety and have a different type of inflorescence than plants of the ‘Tartino Yellow’ variety.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘Rome’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,032), ‘Gedi Two Pin’ blooms naturally one to two weeks later, has a wider diameter inflorescence, has a different type of inflorescence, and has more blooms per flowering branch.
